I have tried exactly the same what you describe. I cannot reproduce it. I needed to change the background color under the tab Colors instead of Highlighting Text Styles. However if the colors are set and kate is exited, after reloading the file it shows the same colors as set.
I am using gutsy with the newest upgrades. My KDE Version is 3.5.8 and Kate Version is 2.5.8. DO you have other versions? -- Kate (?and Quanta and KDevelop user preferences) do not save https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173283 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
