So... I like Kate for being the perfect balance between simplicity of a plain text editor and ability to customise it. I really enjoy the highlighting of misspelled word as English is not my first language. But it fails to work on my system in Kate. I have Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro with High DPI screen 3200x1800.
When it works:
Create a brand new user > log in to it > open Kate > type something > press Ctrl+O > red highlighting of misspelled words appears
When it doesn't:
Go to System Settings > Display > Displays > Scale Display (like here):
http://blog.davidedmundson.co.uk/blog/high_dpi_again
change the display scale to 1.5 (one-point-five) > log out > log in > open Kate > ..... > NO highlighting :-(
I've also checked on my original account. Changing the display scale to 1.0 brings back the highlighting (but letters in icons, texts, windows etc are to small to read comfortably).
My system:
Qt: 5.7.1
KDE Frameworks: 5.35.0
kf5-config: 1.0
plasmashell 5.10.2
