Bug ID: 503519
Summary: Kate opens files in existing instances even if they
are all on other virtual desktops
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 25.04.0
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When opening a file from a file manager or with "kate filename.txt" command, it
will always find the last used running instance and create a new tab there.
This happens even if all the Kate windows are not on current virtual desktop. I
have to start a new Kate manually and only then open the file.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start Kate
2. Switch to a different virtual desktop
3. Open a text file with Kate through a file manager
OBSERVED RESULT
Best case - Kate flashes in your panel's task manager widget, and that's it.
EXPECTED RESULT
A new instance of Kate appears with the requested file in its only tab.
