Kate is the "Kde Advanced Text Editor". It does _not_ put extra control or formatting characters into your text. End of sentence. Period!
otoh _all_ so called 'word processors', in their different ways, do. I suspect that the problems you have been experiencing might have been caused by the PS1 phrase which has the \033 character sequence in it. Some how or other the shell might well have been interpreting the \033 and turning it into the esc character, because you don't have the PS1 string protected from the action of the shell by a _single_ quote marks.
