            Bug ID: 330623
           Summary: Kate crashes when clicking the "close" button in Help
                    | About menu
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kate
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: NOR
         Component: application
          Assignee: kwrite-bugs-null@kde.org
          Reporter: citizen.internet.4077@gmail.com

I launched Kate, clicked Help->About Kate. The "About Kate" dialog pops up. I
then click the close button in the dialog and Kate crashes.
I am using Kate version is 3.8.5 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I installed Kate via
Ubuntu repo. I am using KDE platform 4.8.5.
I don't know if I am using Ubuntu or Kubuntu packages (how would I determine
that?). I assume I am using Ubuntu packages, because I installed the kate-dbg
package and the crash report still said the backtrace contained no usefui info.
Perhaps the  kate-dbg package is not working?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. launched Kate,. 
2.  clicked Help->About Kate
3. The "About Kate" dialog pops up. Click the close button in the dialog and
Kate crashes.
Actual Results:  
Kate crashes and the KDE Crash Handler dialog appears with the following
details:
Executable: kate PID: 27484 Signal: Segmentation fault (11)

Expected Results:  
Kate should not crash

Any text entered between last save and Help->About Kate & and clicking close
button is lost. BTW, it also happens when clicking the "x" in the upper left
corner instead of the close button
