Description lostentrepreneur439 2025-03-28 03:02:54 UTC 
SUMMARY
When trying to create a new line on an XML file on macOS Sequoia, Kate will crash instead of creating the new line. When running Kate in the terminal, it provides no data on what could've caused the crash, just `zsh: killed     /Applications/kate.app/Contents/MacOS/kate`. This doesn't seem to be present with other file types, only XML.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an XML file in Kate on a macOS Sequoia system
2. Try to create a new line in the file
3. Kate crashes

OBSERVED RESULT
When creating a new line in an XML, kate crashes.

EXPECTED RESULT
A new line to be created.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
macOS: macOS Sequoia 15.3.2


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This may be a system specific issue, as I am running on a Hackintosh with an AMD CPU, however, I do believe this is a bug in general on Kate, as it'd be quite weird for AMD to be causing some weird issue with Kate on macOS.
