Bug ID: 478629 Summary: Kate is very slow to Launch, and very slow to open even a simple Text file with a couple paragraphs (even on a fresh Win11 install) Classification: Applications Product: kate Version: 23.08.0 Platform: Other OS: Other Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: zacch...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open a simple Text file with 2 paragraphs of texts 2. Wait, and wait, and wiat 3. It opens only after between 10-15s, OBSERVED RESULT This lag when opening a simple Text file is huge compared to Notepad++ and others. EXPECTED RESULT Opening Kate in less than a second, even less... SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 11 22H2 macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I've tried Kate on a fresh setup of Win11, and same issue. Very slow at launching the app itself, or opening a file. It's so irritating that sometimes I wish I could find an alternative (but Kate is the most well thought-out text editor out there, and I've tested SublimeText, Atom, and so on... Notepad++ is great but its UI is aweful, not as refined and tasteful as Kate IMO) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
