Subject: kate: Please reset the cursor position after file reload! Package: kate Version: 4:3.4.2-4 Severity: important
*** Please type your report below this line *** When a file that is "in Kate" is reloaded, for example /var/log/syslog (that you can monitor in Kate), the cursor should be repositioned, to the text (line/char) position, and to the position within the window before reload. In other words, the text should be scrolled to show the same lines, that is, the same line numbers (since the entire text may be replaced), and that the cursor should return to the same position as before. In case the entire text is replaced at reload, this behaviour may (though not necessarily) be of less imortance, but when the file is extended only (like when monitoring syslog) it is very helpful. Such a behaviour is still more helpful when the monitored file is a large output file that is regenerated in a static pattern when some application is repeatedly run. Each new run will then immidiately be visible at the interesting position in the file, to which the editor window will return. Of course the return-to-position is impossible if the repaced file does not contain enough number of lines or characters within the return-to-line. The way to take care of that is hopefully self-evident. Imortant, will save many working-hours!
