I'd say install DrKonqi if you don't have it yet, figure out how to get it to
catch the crash for reporting, and then look at the backtrace to see where the

Qt 5.7.1 had its share of issues, but I've never seen this crash. Semicolons
with spaces before them is something coders will encounter quite often, as well
as anyone writing French, so any regressions in highlighting code handling this
pattern should be caught and corrected quickly.
(I'm still on older KF5 frameworks and applications though.)
Couldn't get a backtrace, even after re-installing libraries with -ggdb.
So instead I upgraded to Qt 5.9.1, which I was extremely reluctant to
do; on Gentoo, the Qt 5.9 packages are marked with:
"Guaranteed to break your system horribly or your money back."
The Kate crashes went away though. Now waiting for my disk to be
formatted or my house catching fire...
