document that exhibits the bug
SUMMARY
In recent versions of Kate (and also Kwrite), using block selection mode causes
text to become invisible when highlighting is enabled. I'm not sure when this
bug was introduced, but it wasn't until somewhat recently.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download and open the attached document in Kate (or Kwrite). Kate will
recognize the document as Markdown format and apply the appropriate
highlighting.
2. Enable block selection mode (Ctrl+Shift+B).
3. Click somewhere in the middle of the first sentence and drag the cursor
down.
OBSERVED RESULT
The text below the first line of the selection disappears as the selection
extends downward.
EXPECTED RESULT
The text should remain visible.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Linux 42
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.17.0
Qt Version: 6.9.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I was also able to reproduce the bug using the KDE neon unstable live ISO built
today, featuring Kate version 25.11.70.
