Package: kate Version: 4:16.08.3-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I have a folder with symlinked text files of most frequent use. With Kate in Debian Jessie, there were no problems; in Debian Stretch (stable), opening a symlinked file more than once leads Kate to open another instance of it, in another tab (with the addictional "(\d+)" to the file anme in the tab title, of course). Using Kate in KDE4 (in Jessie), if a file was already opened in a tab, the program switched to that tab, symlinked or not. It would be nice to have the same behaviour in Kate in KDE Plasma. The same bug occurs when a normal file is inside a folder that is a symlink, or when the file's path crosses some symlinked folders, somewhere. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (900, 'stable'), (500, 'stable-updates') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE= (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages kate depends on: ii kate5-data 4:16.08.3-1 ii kio 5.28.0-2 ii ktexteditor-katepart 5.28.0-2 ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii libgit2-24 0.25.1+really0.24.6-1 ii libkf5activities5 5.28.0-1 ii libkf5bookmarks5 5.28.0-1 ii libkf5completion5 5.28.0-1 ii libkf5configcore5 5.28.0-2 ii libkf5configgui5 5.28.0-2 ii libkf5configwidgets5 5.28.0-2 ii libkf5coreaddons5 5.28.0-2 ii libkf5crash5 5.28.0-1 ii libkf5dbusaddons5 5.28.0-1 ii libkf5guiaddons5 5.28.0-1 ii libkf5i18n5 5.28.0-2 ii libkf5iconthemes5 5.28.0-2 ii libkf5itemmodels5 5.28.0-2 ii libkf5jobwidgets5 5.28.0-2 ii libkf5kiocore5 5.28.0-2 ii libkf5kiofilewidgets5 5.28.0-2 ii libkf5kiowidgets5 5.28.0-2 ii libkf5newstuff5 5.28.0-1 ii libkf5parts5 5.28.0-1 ii libkf5plasma5 5.28.0-2 ii libkf5service-bin 5.28.0-1 ii libkf5service5 5.28.0-1 ii libkf5texteditor5 5.28.0-2 ii libkf5textwidgets5 5.28.0-1 ii libkf5threadweaver5 5.28.0-1+b2 ii libkf5wallet-bin 5.28.0-3 ii libkf5wallet5 5.28.0-3 ii libkf5widgetsaddons5 5.28.0-3 ii libkf5windowsystem5 5.28.0-2 ii libkf5xmlgui5 5.28.0-1 ii libqt5core5a 5.7.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libqt5dbus5 5.7.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libqt5gui5 5.7.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libqt5sql5 5.7.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libqt5widgets5 5.7.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libqt5xml5 5.7.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libstdc++6 6.3.0-18 ii plasma-framework 5.28.0-2 ii qml-module-org-kde-kquickcontrolsaddons 5.28.0-1 ii qml-module-qtquick-layouts 5.7.1-2+b2 ii qml-module-qtquick2 5.7.1-2+b2 kate recommends no packages.
