SUMMARY
.editorconfig support proposed in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330843
have consequences that kate gui config is un-applicable when .editoconfig file
exist and has set options which conflicts with those from Kate.
This may be confusing for users as app behavior doesn't match what they see is
set in config and not everyone is aware that such thing like .editoconfig may
exist and overrides kate settings.
