The "Report bug" window does tell you the version of the thing you're reporting
a bug against. If I invoke it from Dolphin, it says "Version 21.12.3", which is
accurate. In this case, the Plasma version isn't relevant, since the bug is in
Dolphin, and Dolphin--like Kate--is a standalone app. The era of there being a
giant monolithic thing called KDE that includes interdependent apps is over. :)
You don't need to supply the version number of Plasma itself if you're
reporting a bug against a KDE app.

Yes, it's a shame how old out-of-date information sticks around forever on the
internet. I find myself appending the year to my web searches these days
