In my opinion NO, it was a user (you) who created issue because you were probably using elevated privileges (sudo featherpad) when you changed settings; meaning you denied yourself access to those settings (unless using elevated privileges later).
eg. in following I look at my featherpad.conf file guiverc@d960-ubu2:~/.config/featherpad$ ls -la fp.conf -rw-rw-r-- 1 guiverc guiverc 1011 Nov 2 23:18 fp.conf i run it using `sudo` to elevate my privileges (using `sudo`), and make config change guiverc@d960-ubu2:~/.config/featherpad$ sudo featherpad QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root' QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root' now I look at the same file as before - note it's now owned by root !! because I changed file whilst using `sudo` (or m guiverc@d960-ubu2:~/.config/featherpad$ ls -la fp.conf -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 974 Nov 12 11:18 fp.conf I now try & make changes to config whilst just me - note the errors & it's rejected guiverc@d960-ubu2:~/.config/featherpad$ featherpad (featherpad:13834): IBUS-WARNING **: 11:18:15.625: Unable to connect to ibus: Could not connect: Connection refused guiverc@d960-ubu2:~/.config/featherpad$ ls -la fp.conf -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 974 Nov 12 11:18 fp.conf my changes no longer worked; I got the IBUS-WARNING error because I no longer have permissions. I suspect this is your issue - ie. user created by making preference or like changes whilst not you (you were probably using elevated or sudo privileges). To learn, maybe look at result of guiverc@d960-ubu2:~/.config/featherpad$ whoami guiverc guiverc@d960-ubu2:~/.config/featherpad$ sudo whoami root I'd suggest this is user-error & not a bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1802799 Title: Featherpad preference settings ignored when reopening (Lubuntu 18.10) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/featherpad/+bug/1802799/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
