But it is part of KDE and I was referring specifically to the Debian 
package (although I don't know if the problem affects other packagings 
of KATE). I use KATE frequently for regex find and replace operations.

The whole bug reporting thing isn't exactly clear to me. I've had people 
tell me I shouldn't use reportbug if it's not a Debian packaging issue, 
for example. And reportbug just seems to have a lot of unresolved bugs 
listed that seem more like a black hole than a method of getting an 
issue resolved. I wonder if the reportbug system even gets looked at by 
developers or packagers because I rarely hear about bug reports until 
they are years old.

The Debian lists seem more responsive and handle more issues than just 
bugs.
