Bug ID: 447153
Summary: Kate ignores the "Remove trailing spaces" being "On
Modified Lines" when an .editorconfig is present
Product: kate
Version: 21.12.0
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: application
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: rea...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
When editing a file in a project that ships an .editorconfig file with:
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
in it, then Kate will ignore that I have set the "Remove Trailing Spaces"
option to "On Modified Lines." As a result, when I save the file and then do
"git add" and "git commit", there can be dozens of even hundreds of modified
lines even though I only touched one or two lines.
This currently makes Kate completely unusable in such projects.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create an .editorconfig with:
[*]
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
in it.
2. Create a text file with lots of lines and spaces at the end of the lines.
3. In Settings->Configure Kate->Open/Save, set "Remove Trailing Spaces" to "On
Modified Lines."
4. Edit that file with kate and only change one line, then save.
OBSERVED RESULT
The whole file is modified.
EXPECTED RESULT
Only changed lines should be modified.
