Bug ID: 470708
Summary: Kate "Intricate" Default Setting Breaks Formatting of
Files (Formatting Text Behind Users Back Without
Consent).
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 23.04.1
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: sessions
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: kdelo...@mozej.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
Saving PROPERLY FORMATTED sha256sum/sha512sum in Kate breaks the formatting of
this sha text file. User properly formats the file, but Kate formats the file
on its own while saving without user consent.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create properly formattted sha512sum of a file in Kate
2. Save it as xxxx.sha256
3. $ sha256sum -c xxx.sha256
OBSERVED RESULT
Fail to run sha256sum -c xxx.sha256, despite user proper input in Kate.
Frustrating users to no end, who wouldn't figure why their properly formatted
checksum fail, despite them putting everything correctly. User will assume Kate
is broken.
EXPECTED RESULT
DO NOT ADD EXTRA LINE at the end of the text if the user did not wished so. DO
NOT FORMAT THE TEXT BEHIND USERS BACK.
REMOVE EXTREMELY HARD TO FIGURE OUT/DISCOVER/DEEPLY HIDDEN IN SETTINGS: "Append
newline at the end of file on save".
