Bug ID: 465345
Summary: Kate Freezes when I go into 'vi-mode' and then do a
search and type in the Dollar sign: $
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 21.12.3
Platform: Kubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: Vi Input Mode
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org

SUMMARY
Kate Freezes when I go into 'vi-mode' and then do a search and type in the
Dollar sign: $
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a text file in 'kate'
2. Change the Input Modes to 'vi-mode'
Click 'Edit' --> 'Input Modes' --> 'vi-mode'
(this allows kate to act like a vim editor - this is where the bug is)
3. Make sure you are not in Insert mode
(you can press 'esc' to ensure you are not in Insert mode)
4. Do a search using the vim shortcut '/'
5. Now immediately type the dollar sign: '$'
At this point, the kate editor freezes and starts leaking memory like a mofo!!!
(alternatively you could also click 'Edit --> Find' or 'Ctrl + F' while in
'vi-mode' and it does the same thing)
OBSERVED RESULT
a. Kate freezes
b. When i run 'top' I see the Memory being used by Kate increasing very rapidly
EXPECTED RESULT
a. Kate should be able to search for the '$' string
