Bug ID: 500138
Summary: Opening a file using Kate can result in it being
opened on another activity
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 24.12.2
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: application
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When using multiple activities and opening a file using Kate, if there is an
existing instance of Kate (window) running, even if it's on a different
activity, it will be re-used, instead of the file being opened in a new
instance on the current activity.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create two arbitrary files
2. Create two arbitrary activities
3. Switch to activity 1, open Dolphin, using Dolphin, open the file 1 with Kate
4. Switch to activity 2, open Dolphin, using Dolphin, open the file 2 with Kate
OBSERVED RESULT
File 2 opened in activity 2 appears in existing Kate instance in activity 1
EXPECTED RESULT
File 2 opened in activity 2 starts a new instance of Kate, such that the file
is actually editable on activity 2
KNOWN WORKAROUND
Each time a file is opened:
- the file must manually be moved to a new window, by right clicking the file
tab in Kate and then clicking on "Detach Document"
- the newly opened window must be manually moved to the activity where the file
was originally opened, by right clicking on the window titlebar and using the
"Show in activities -> Move to X" option.
