Bug ID: 512893
Summary: Implement "Close window when the last file is closed"
option
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version First 25.08.3
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: application
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
There already exists an option called "Close the application entirely when the
last file is closed", however this doesn't result in the desired behaviour when
files are opened in another window. I would like a new option called something
like "Close the current window when the last file is closed".
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Check the option Behavior -> "Open each document in its own window"
2. Double click on two text files. You will now have two Kate windows, one open
for each file.
3. Click on the X in the tab bar for the single open tab of one of the windows.
OBSERVED RESULT
The tab will close and be replaced by a new tab named "Untitled".
EXPECTED RESULT
The result is expected since another file is open in another window — assuming
the user notices the other window. However, the desired result is actually to
have the window closed, just as it does if only one file and one window are
open.
As it stands, I believe the behaviour is inconsistent. When I click on X on the
last open tab, I always expect to see the window close, but it will or won't
depending on other Kate windows and files I have open — which may not show on
the same virtual desktop, or even in the same KDE activity.
