           Summary: Unsplitting Window Causes Kate Crash
           Product: kate
           Version: 2.3
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kwrite-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: josh agliodbs com


Version:           2.3 (using KDE KDE 3.3.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 3.3.4 (pre 3.3.5 20040809)
 
OS:                Linux

I use Kate pretty heavily for SQL editing.   I've not had this issue happen before, \
so it obviously takes some peculiar set of circumstances to cause it.  As a result, \
below is everything I did; I'm not sure really what's relevant.

1) Logged into machine and started KDE.
2) Started Kate.  Kate pre-loaded 40 files which were already open.  None of these \
files were more than 2MB (most are a few K). 3) Kate also opened in the mode it had \
been shut down in, with 2 of the files open in "split horizontally" mode, and with \
the terminal window in the bottom. 4) I repeatedly attempted to "Close current \
window" in order to close one of the split panes.   Each time, regardless of the pane \
chosen, Kate would crash instantly ... not even a KDE "this application has crashed" \
dialog (tested this about 4 times). 5) I tried closing about 1/2 of the files, hoping \
the issue was memory overload.   No dice; Kate still crashed. 6) I closed *all* of \
the open files.   This solved the problem.

Other options that may be relevant: I have "synch terminal with current window" \
turned OFF, and 80% of the files open were PostgreSQL-SQL files.

Unfortunately, I need to get some work done today, so I can't keep Kate around in its \
crashed state for forensics.  Hopefully the above will lead you to some sort of \
useful bug analysis.  Also note that this is not consistent; I use Kate very heavily \
and have used 2.3 for about 3 months without encountering this kind of behaviour.

Keep up the good work!
