Public bug reported:
I was working on a GAE project. The GAE test server automatically
recompiles and restarts the server when the source files have changed.
Apparently it does this ALL the time while typing in Kate. It seems like
Kate keeps saving swap files after every keystroke.
This caused my system to freeze a few times because of memory usage (the
GAE test server kept running new Python instances to recompile and
restart the server)
The last 2 hours I've been looking for a temporary replacement for Kate,
but I really can't seem to find another open source text editor with the
same speed and functionality I am used to.
I tried "Disable swap files syncing" option, but this has no effect.
This bug has been reported to KDE by some Ubuntu users, but they claim
it must be a packaging error or something wrong on the Ubuntu side,
because the problem doesn't appear on other distributions and because
the problem was fixed a long time ago upstream.
Can someone please check out what might be causing this problem? And/or
provide a workaround?
This is a fresh 14.04.1 LTS installation.
$ kate -v
