Description Petr Mrázek 2025-12-10 15:54:49 UTC 
SUMMARY
Basically, it saves the file over and over, possibly hundreds of times a second.
When I disable the LSP server for the type of file I'm editing (or LSP plugin), it calms down.

It doesn't seem specific to the kind of file I'm editing, but I'm for sure getting it with bash and yaml language servers.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a remote file (ssh)  accessed by opening it from dolphin in kate
2. Make a small edit in the file
3. Save
4. See Kate get locked in a save loop

OBSERVED RESULT
After the first save, it is caught in a save loop, likely because of an interaction with the LS and maybe auto formatting? But it needs better investigation with debugger in hand.

EXPECTED RESULT
It doesn't save loop and doesn't lock up

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

If you have some time to debug this more, that would be awesome!
