Knotes always remembers the note's original desktop

[Nicolas Galler]

Binary package hint: kdepim

I checked off the "Remember Desktop" box in Knotes. However, when I enter a new note, it still seems to stick it on the one desktop that it was entered on originally.

For example, if I am on desktop 1, and add a note, then right click on KNotes, click "Hide all notes", switch to desktop 2, right click on KNotes and click "Show all notes", the note I just added does not show. If I switch back to desktop 1 I can see it opened there. I expected all notes to open on my current desktop, desktop 2.

Another example: if I close the note, switch to desktop 2, left click on the KNotes icon, and select the note I just added, the system switches to desktop 1 automatically, where the note is open (I would expect it to open on the current desktop, desktop 2, instead).

I checked the note's file itself (libcal-nnnnn under .kde4/share/apps/knotes/notes) and it has this data:
[Display]
RememberDesktop=false
bgcolor=255,255,189

[General]
version=3.9

[WindowDisplay]
desktop=1
position=54,271

My system's version data is below.

Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. While we appreciate your issue, it would be better if it was tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that the KDE developers can deal with this speedily and have direct communication with you as the reporter for more effective debugging.

Thanks!
