Bug Description
Binary package hint: kate
At least two Ubuntu users have experienced a bug whereby Kate (and possibly other text editors) will not save user preferences. In particular, any attempt to customise code highlighting fails, sessions are not saved on exit, attempts to customise toolbars fail.
See discussion here: http://
For example, to reproduce problem with text highlighting:
1. Open Kate and open a code file (for example a PHP file)
2. Open Settings/Configure Kate
3. Select Fonts and Colours
4. Select Highlighting Text Styles, and make sure the highlight: dropdown corresponds to the type of code in the file you opened.
5. Make a change to the code highlighting. For instance, in PHP change the color of a function to red.
6. Press apply.
7. Press ok
Result: functions will be highlighted the old way. Returning to settings will show that the old colour is still there.
That is an example of just one of the bugs. Any other settings changes also seem not to save - esp customising the toolbars.
Thanks for the report.
I have tried to reproduce this and was successful, however, I noticed that there is one step that might be missing. In case of the original color being black, after clicking on the color palette to change the new color, I also had to change the And after selecting a color, I needed to change the value bar in order that the correct values are transferred into the RGB fields. After this, the color is correctly selected.
Can you confirm this behaviour?
Thanks
