that’s how it worked in the last couple distros i tried but now on kubuntu it shows all kinds of (unhelpful) words. i tried disabling “keyword completion” but it did not change this behavior.

thanks for reading!

edit:
here is what it says under “components” in the “about” section:
Kate: 25.08.1
KDE Frameworks: 6.17.0
Qt: Using 6.9.2 and built against 6.9.2
Ubuntu 25.10 (Wayland)
Build ABI: x86_64-little_endian-lp64
Kernel: linux 6.17.0-14-generic

edit2: i tried upgrading kate to the latest (beta?) version 25.12.2 but now it’s not even launching…

    Still on the current LTS Kubuntu (24.04) so I still have the good ol’ behavior. Boosting to get an answer before I upgrade 😅

      for me it says “Version 25.08.1” in the “about” section of kate, what does it say for you? maybe this is something i could fix with downgrading the installed version of kate?
