Bug ID: 425061
Summary: Inconsistency with menu order KWrite vs Kate (Settings
>)
Product: kate
Version: 19.12.3
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kwrite
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: kiwim...@runbox.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The order of settings under Settings toolbar in KWrite and Kate should be the
same, since they are more or less "the same" editor, only Kate having access to
more advanced funcitons and plugins, where KWrite is a more simple notepad.
Pressing Settings on Kate (which I view as the master application, from which
KWrite inherits it's stuff), you'll get the following order og settings:
"""
Colour Theme
Show Menubar
Show Toolbar
Show Statusbar
Show Tabs
Show Path in Titlebar
________
Configure Keyboard Shortcuts
Configure Toolbars
Configure Kate
"""
KWrite have the following:
"""
Show Menubar
Show Statusbar
Show Toolbar
Show Path in Titlebar
________
Configure Editor (# This should maybe be called Configure KWrite instead?)
Configure Keyboard Shortcuts
Configure Toolbars
"""
As you see, the Show Statusbar and Show Toolbar have switched place from Kate
to Kwrite.
Configure Kate and Configure Editor (KWrite) are also in different positions.
My suggestion is that KWrite's menu order be changed to reflect Kate, since
Kate likely is the "main" application (both in terms of functionality, and in
terms of which application more people are fammiliar with (I'm guessing))
I discovered this by wondering why I'm always hitting the wrong button in
KWrite when trying to enter Configure KWrite, and it just dawned on me that the
settings order is different :)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click Settings (toolbar) in Kate and KWrite
2. Notice that the settings are ordered slighlty differently.
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
Different menu order.
EXPECTED RESULT
Expected that the settings have the same order.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I was not able to get a screenshot of the two menus. Spectacle didn't want to
trigger with the menu open. Dunno if this is a limitation of Xorg or Spectacle,
but I'm guessing the former. Anyway, it's readily available to anyone
interested to simply click the Settings menu in both apps :)
Also, this "bug" might very well be true for the other menus, but I suppose
there are easier and faster ways of comparing this in the code somewhere, than
by clicking the menus and snapping pictures with your phone to compare.
