Bug ID: 489600
Summary: Some .kateconfig settings are applied only after file
reload (pressing F5)
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 23.08.5
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
After having used a .kateconfig file for a long time (mostly for file
type-dependent tab-related settings), I wanted to also use it to change the
font for some file types. First I was happy to see that there is in fact a
documented variable for this but then I was disappointed to see that it had no
effect. Only by chance did I notice that after reloading the file (by pressing
F5) the setting was actually applied.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. If you do not have one already, create a .kateconfig file in your home
directory. (Learn about
[kateconfig-files](https://kate-editor.org/2006/02/09/kateconfig-files/) if you
want to.
2. Add a modeline like the following `kate-wildcard(*.txt): word-wrap-column
20; font-size 18; font Noto Sans;`. The `word-wrap-column 20` is just for
testing (this should work), the specific `font` does not matter -- pick any
font you have installed (non-mono for more obvious effect). Learn about
[kate-modelines](https://kate-editor.org/2006/02/09/kate-modelines/) if you
want to.
3. Open a file ending in `.txt`.
OBSERVED RESULT
You will see your default font (and the marker line after 20 columns).
EXPECTED RESULT
You will see a large non-mono font.
