I can not reproduce that, can you try the latest release?
Comment 4 hbr 2024-08-28 05:07:24 UTC 
It still happens on Kate 24.08. Can also reproduce it on my laptop which is using an Intel iGPU in case this is somehow related  to GPU stuff. The laptop is also running EndeavourOS / Arch.

Checked agian and the issue manifests slightly different with Kate 24.08:

When I open the file via "Recent Documents and Projects" the cursor will still stick to being a pointer and will not change into a text selection cursor initially. But when I move it out of the text area (e.g. to the menu bar) and back into the text area the cursor then changes.

When I use the "Open file" button the cursor changes right away.
