            Bug ID: 356304
           Summary: Kate Crashes On Startup
           Product: kate
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: application
          Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: biplan...@outlook.com

If I try to start kate, it will spit out:

    No docs r (or the only) opened right now --> disable menu
    QWidget::setLayout: Attempting to set QLayout "" on KateMDI::ToolView "",
    which already has a layout
    No docs r (or the only) opened right now --> disable menu
    Segmentation fault (core dumped)

And if I pass a file as a parameter, it will instead crash with:

    No docs r (or the only) opened right now --> disable menu
    QWidget::setLayout: Attempting to set QLayout "" on KateMDI::ToolView "",
    which already has a layout
    No docs r (or the only) opened right now --> disable menu
    No docs r (or the only) opened right now --> disable menu

    stage #1: Collected 2 paths and 1 masks

    No docs r (or the only) opened right now --> disable menu
    No docs r (or the only) opened right now --> disable menu
    Segmentation fault (core dumped)

If I start it graphically with a shortcut, in KDE, it will create a single
frame whose only contents is what's behind it. This frame will live for a
fraction of a second and then an error message pops up.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Kate
2. Immediately crashes

Actual Results:  
Kate crashes immediately.

Expected Results:  
I can use Kate to write things :)

Purging all of its configuration files, or at least all the ones I know about
(under ~/.kde), doesn't have any effect whatsoever, neither does uninstalling
and reinstalling. This is under KDE 5, but every other application works fine.
If I start Kate with root privileges under sudo (eek!), it will launch and work
successfully, but that's not really a long term solution...
