Kate, but what version (possibly of kate and kde/frameworks both)? And
if it's from a distro, what distro and version there as well?
Particularly with the active transition from kde4 to kde/frameworks5
right now, mentioning this sort of information is critical.
(FWIW, I have parts of a minimal kde/frameworks/plasma5 installed so as
to make testing easier, but am still on kde4 and don't have the few
blocker packages from 5 installed so I can keep the ones from 4 installed
for the moment. This because earlier versions of 5 sent kwin5 into a
respawn loop, while the last test I did, did get me at least part of the
desktop, but failed apparently because some of the plasma4 user config is
in the XDG-standard locations used by plasma5 and in that limited test I
hadn't removed that, while the rest was in the .kde location used by kde4,
that I had removed. So for my next test I know I need to cleanup my
existing user config a bit better for the test and I think it might
finally work now, but even if it did, I'd still need to spend quite some
time recustomizing 5 to something I consider workable, and if the kde4
upgrade is anything to go by, that's likely to take around 100 hours of
reconfiguration and workarounds-for-now-broken-stuff time that I simply
don't have ATM, the reason I've not retested and tried the update to 5
again just yet.
So my 5 knowledge is rather limited, but if you happen to still be on 4,
I can try installing kate (I normally use either mcedit or kwrite here,
and thus don't have kate installed by default) and see how zoom behaves
here, on gentoo with qt 4.8.7, kde 4.14.13, and kwrite 4.14.12. The
package-manager says if I installed kate without specifying a version,
I'd get 15.08.1, with 15.08.2 currently apparently available but still
masked as not yet stable enough to unmask even to gentoo-amd64-testing.)
