** Attachment added: "the desktop file taken from Ubuntu 16.04 where it worked" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kate/+bug/1884432/+attachment/5385861/+files/org.kde.kate.desktop
** Description changed: There are several issues with 'Kate' on my clean install of Ubuntu 20.04 When I installed Kate from Snap, it could not recognize my sessions (which I copied from my old disk to ~/.local/share/kate/sessions and I also moved the .desktop file to ~/.local/share/applications) but besides that, the application ran as normal. And it was also in the applications dash (important for later). I thought it was missing some dependencies, so I checked it in Synaptics package manager. But 'kate' appeared uninstalled. I selected it for installation and then I could see two instances in the applications! One of them could see my sessions, the other one no. So I uninstalled it again from both Synaptics and from Snap. And installed it again only with Synaptics. Now, Kate is working with my sessions but - - it does NOT appear in the applications dash (yes, I have the proper WMClass set up, and I have tried 'sudo update-desktop-database' and I have tried to move the application entry to /usr/share/applications) + - it does NOT appear in the applications dash although it had previously two instances there (yes, I have the proper WMClass set up, and I have tried 'sudo update-desktop-database' and I have tried to move the application entry to /usr/share/applications) - it can be executed from terminal and also from Alt-F2 as 'kate' - it cannot be, however, added to favorites - its icon in the dash cannot be clicked by the middle mouse button to open a new instance - every new instance started with either a new terminal or Alt-F2 appears as a new icon in dash, instead of adding a dot, as e.g. Firefox does or even Kate did on 16.04 - although it is installed in Synaptics, it does not appear as installed in Snap See the attached screenshots.
