Package: kate
Version: 4:22.12.3-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

The shift key has no effect when writing (e.g. Shift+a results in 'a' instead 
of 'A').

Some general observations about the probelm itself:
- Caps lock works.
- Shift hotkeys work (e.g. Shift+Left in order to mark the character left of 
the cursor).
- Alt Gr has the same problem (I changed my keybooard layout to german and Alt 
Gr+q prints 'q' instead of '@').
- Some other applications have the same issue (e.g. kwrite, vlc, texstudio, 
wireshark). I think all 
  my Qt-applications do, but Qt might also be unrelated. Other applications 
such as xfce4-terminal or firefox 
  work flawlessly.

With "distrobox" I created a container for debian stable (like mine) and debian 
testing, and the problem occurs 
only in the "stable" conteiner. Therefore, I don't think it's some 
configuration error of mine. Also, this suggests 
that the bug has been fixed in more recent package versions. However, those are 
not available yet for stable via 
apt upgrade.

stable:
image: quay.io/toolbx-images/archlinux-toolbox:latest 
Qt-Version (kate): 5.15.8
kate-Version: 22.12.3

testing:
image: docker.io/library/debian:testing
Qt-Version (kate): 5.15.10
kate-Version: 23.08.1


Sorry if I made any errors in posting this bug report, as it appears to be 
fixed in more recent kate versions. I dont 
know anything about the inner working or policies of debian.
