It certainly looks like a crash, can you please check if there is a coredump available for the time it happened. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports for information on how to get the coredump.
I do not see "coredump" in that link, do you mean install that thing and debug with it?
Found it, trying maybe or maybe not, maybe.
I am on 22.04.4 of Ubuntu, which do I do to install?
Created attachment 173602 [details] Errors maybe This is not supposed to happen, correct?
Created attachment 173603 [details] sudo update errors maybe sudo apt update errors, this is bad, what to do?
Created attachment 173604 [details] Origin errors maybe This may be just this package but what to do?
Can you try to resolve your update issues. It looks like one of the mirrors you are using has a broken file. That aside, you are running a snap packaged Kate. Can you try to update the snap?
Update issues are something you'll need to take up with Ubuntu, but as Kare suggested it's likely just a mirror sync issue and will be fine if you try again. As for the crash, see https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports#Retrieving_a_backtrace_using_coredumpctl part of the documentation for how to use it.

Please note that this update issue was not present until I tried to download your tool maybe or maybe not, maybe. I ran this before what was in terminal shown and it said either restart or close terminal and then reopen, I closed terminal and reopenned maybe or maybe not, maybe. echo -e "deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com $(lsb_release -cs) main restricted universe multiverse\ndeb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com $(lsb_release -cs)-updates main restricted universe multiverse\ndeb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com $(lsb_release -cs)-proposed main restricted universe multiverse" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ddebs.list
Yes I am using snap Kate, I installed before in App Store Kate was a thing, I updated almost all packages including Kate, what I could not update was some python stuff but it seems there are no more updates and glitches maybe or maybe not, maybe.
Created attachment 173621 [details] All snaps up to date maybe I updated Kate and it still crashes same maybe or maybe not, maybe.
Knowing what you know now, is it okay if I uninstall Kate and then install via deb?
I uninstalled Kate snap and installed Kate deb, it works now but is different, sorry if I could be more helpful maybe or maybe not, maybe.
It is probably a much older version so it will be a bit different. If you want a newer version either install 24.08 version from Snap, I am not sure if it works or not but 24.08 is the stable version. Or you can try the appImage which is available on the kate website.
