--- Comment #7 from Lothar <loh....@googlemail.com> --- > I assumed it's obvious at least for kate developers Well, I have submitted some patches in the recent past but to call me as such, would be a little presumptuous. Besides I'm as while a little "slow", but I'm here. The smart guys are usually busy. That's much better but I still can't reproduce it. At 6./14. did you change it to "Never" or is it also before on "Never"? Without any config file around it should be on "Never". I notice there is also a ~/.config/katepartrc as fall back and Kate support https://editorconfig.org/ >From docs KatePart has support for reading configurations from .editorconfig files, when the editorconfig library is installed. KatePart automatically searches for a editorconfig whenever you open a file. It gives priority to kateconfig files, though. https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/applications/katepart/config-variables.html That sounds to me promising, when you add an empty .kateconfig, Kate stops using .editorconfig. So I hope you have such around. I couldn't got .editorconfig to work but with an .kateconfig the display in the config dialog is not changed, it still says "Never" but the space will removed.
