Bug ID: 447259
Summary: Opening a new window opens the same document that's
already open
Product: kate
Version: 21.08.3
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: random1123581...@protonmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When opening a new window, the document that is currently open opens in the new
window. I don't know whether this behavior is intended or not, but it appears
to be very weird default behavior. Ideally, opening a new window should open a
new window with a blank text file, not the text file open in the window you
just opened the window from.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a file with some text on it open.
2. Click on View > New Window
OBSERVED RESULT
The same document opens in the new window, and anything written to the new
window's document also gets updated in the old one's, even without hitting
save. Moreover, you can close the new window you created even with unsaved
changes because the document remains open in the other window.
EXPECTED RESULT
A new window should have a new document open
