Bug ID: 468147 Summary: .editorconfig with trim_trailing_whitespace = true should not apply globally for existing files Classification: Applications Product: kate Version: 22.12.3 Platform: Archlinux OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: application Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: ilmari.lauhakan...@libreoffice.org Target Milestone: --- If you have an .editorconfig file defining trim_trailing_whitespace = true Kate will also apply the rule for existing files, trimming all trailing whitespace found in the file. This is not in line with how it is implemented elsewhere: https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig/wiki/FAQ#my-files-are-not-automatically-reformatted-the-editorconfig-plugin-is-not-working > Existing files are not reformatted by the plugin (only newly input lines are > formatted in the format given in the .editorconfig files) It's true that this is not defined as strictly in the property description, but it seems like a sane way to behave. https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig/wiki/EditorConfig-Properties#trim_trailing_whitespace -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
