kate does not store/load settings

[Artur]

when I change kate settings and click apply and ok the settings are applied. But when I restart kate everything's back to defaults. The only suspicious logs I get when launching kate from terminal are those:

dictionary not found "en"
codecForName: ucnv_open failed ISO-8859-16 U_FILE_ACCESS_ERROR
QInotifyFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths: inotify_add_watch failed: No such file or directory

I've just checked what happens when I run 'kdesudo kate' and in that case settings are applied after kate restart (with kdesudo of course).

I'm facing also a problem with muon in which launching it through kdesudo resolves the issue. So maybe there's something wrong with permissions to files on my system. But that's a clear installation of kubuntu 15.04 so that would be weird.

this is solved by changing ownership of kate related files.

The cause and solution is described in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2274487

It'd be good if kate set ownership to the user actually running the application even if it's done through sudo/kdesudo

I can't find any option to close the bug.
