PS: Not, most things are not even obvious for "Kate developers", whatever that means :-) A Kate developer is someone who contributes to Kate, that includes you, Lothar :-) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

You're welcome, but Thanks for the "Thanks" :-) > when they're used and why they both exist. Well, as said I'm no guru, but so far I know, katerc is Kate only, katepartrc is also used e.g by Kile, Kwrite and any stuff which based on KTexteditor What, when, where is something saved/used I can't say ATM. Kate has some more "config" files, like for session management > Why .editorconfig takes precedence over ~/.config/katepartrc and > ~/.config/katerc? I think only when editorconfig is nearby the file you currently edit. So when some (Code) project have such in their tree it will used. So I understood the docs. > it makes kate gui config inapplicable Yes, I think so too > it may be created by some different app than kate thus users like me may be > unaware why the kate behavior suddenly changed Yeah, it should somehow clear be shown which config (file) is in use to avoid these kind of trouble. Feel free to file a new bug report, and close this one :-) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=397956 --- Comment #8 from Ardith Metz --- Wow, that's a nice finding! The excerpt that I showed in first post: [Document] ... Keep Extra Spaces=true Remove Spaces=0 ... was from ~/.config/katepartrc, not ~/.config/katerc. I misremembered it but I originally posted this couple of months ago :) Anyway my ~/.config/katepartrc matches ~/.config/katerc so that wasn't much relevant. I indeed have .editorconfig (not sure where it comes from) which has a below line: trim_trailing_whitespace = true after changing it to: trim_trailing_whitespace = false the issue reported here goes away. Thank you very much for helping to find this! There are still couple of things which aren't clear for me: 1. What is the difference between ~/.config/katepartrc and ~/.config/katerc, when they're used and why they both exist. 2. Why .editorconfig takes precedence over ~/.config/katepartrc and ~/.config/katerc? It may create confusion as: a) it makes kate gui config inapplicable b) it may be created by some different app than kate thus users like me may be unaware why the kate behavior suddenly changed -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=397956 --- Comment #7 from Lothar --- > I assumed it's obvious at least for kate developers Well, I have submitted some patches in the recent past but to call me as such, would be a little presumptuous. Besides I'm as while a little "slow", but I'm here. The smart guys are usually busy. That's much better but I still can't reproduce it. At 6./14. did you change it to "Never" or is it also before on "Never"? Without any config file around it should be on "Never". I notice there is also a ~/.config/katepartrc as fall back and Kate support https://editorconfig.org/ >From docs KatePart has support for reading configurations from .editorconfig files, when the editorconfig library is installed. KatePart automatically searches for a editorconfig whenever you open a file. It gives priority to kateconfig files, though. https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/applications/katepart/config-variables.html That sounds to me promising, when you add an empty .kateconfig, Kate stops using .editorconfig. So I hope you have such around. I couldn't got .editorconfig to work but with an .kateconfig the display in the config dialog is not changed, it still says "Never" but the space will removed.

I also pointed to relevant gui option which will modify ~/.config/katerc. If you want me to go for full nit, then here I am: 1. rm ~/.kateconfig 2. rm ~/.config/katerc 3. rm ~/kate_test 4. echo " " >kate_test 5. kate kate_test 6.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=397956 --- Comment #5 from Lothar --- In you initial post... https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=397956#c0 ...did you not explicit mention ~/.config/katerc but often .kateconfig. - Step 1. looks to me obsolete - In 7. you create an empty file but you did not note before to ensure that there is no such file - Between 8. + 9. seems to be missed to start Kate again Lastly I have only played around with my "Remove trailing spaces" setting, with and without to start Kate again, but couldn't observe the described damage. Have also set "Keep extra spaces" from indention page as shown in your post. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
