editor window freeze when hitting cursor jump sequences in block select mode
this was firstly happens in KDevelop whis is very annoying - i tried this also
with Kate and this also happens. 



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start kate or a new editor window 
2. type in 1234 in the text editor
3. activate block select mode (CTRL+SHIFT+b)
4. place cursor outside of the test -> move cursor two steps after 1234
5. press SHIFT+CTRL+CURSOR_LEFT -> system freezes 

Actual Results:  
editor window is unresponsable an the application consumes cpu power 

Expected Results:  
editor window should not be unresponsable ;) 

I use KDevelop under xfce. I will check this back under a native kde desktop

SHIFT+CTRL+CURSOR_RIGHT combination works fine

there was no losses of data but the system ask to recover the data - may be
that some modified data could be not recovered
