--- Comment #1 from Angelos Skembris <[email protected]> ---
Trying to complete the OP's description, so I changed some of the metadata to
fit my case. Please feel free to amend.

DESCRIPTION

When a line height multiplier's value different than 1 is selected in Kate, the
cursor is misplaced, sometimes appearing between lines (I guess it depends on
how the fractional lines align). 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Go to Settings --> Appearance --> General and choose a line height multiplier
value different than 1 (e.g. 1.3 in my case).
Open a multi-line text file.

OBSERVED RESULT
Cursor not rendered correctly and flashing between lines (much like the OP's
attached video) 

EXPECTED RESULT
Cursor is rendered correctly and completely flashing in a line

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 6.7.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.29.0
Qt Version: 6.11.2
Kate v. 26.08.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

- Reverting the multiplier to 1.0 fixes the issue. 
- The issue seems to occur with any font (didn't try everything, though).
Unrelated: Clicking "apply" when changing the font in Kate doesn't actually
update the view with the new font, you need to close and re-open Kate for the
new font to be applied. If this is intentional, the user should be notified
somehow. 
- The bug affects other Kate-integrating packages, such as Kile.
