--- Comment #1 from Marco Leise <marco.le...@gmx.de> --- It appears that any 'dead key' when pushed at the right time of loading makes Kate fail to launch. I tried with ^ and ', which on their own don't produce output, but wait for a second key to form â or é. I was hammering these keys right after the project selection screen at the speed of a humming bird and Kate closed immediately before showing the main window or any dialog. More specifically /sometimes/ DrKonqi recognizes it as a crash, other times Kate just vanishes. The same behavior is not observed when pushing regular alpha-numerical keys hinting at some problem with input composition. Again, the 'dead key' presses after the project selection screen are relevant. When hitting such a key in quick succession, Kate will crash on very close to 50% of launches for me. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
