Bug ID: 433455
Summary: Unable to save trailing spaces
Product: kate
Version: 20.12.2
Platform: Slackware Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: k...@mitrah.ru
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
It is the standard that trailing spaces in code should be removed. .
For that there is the setting "Remove trailing spaces: on modified lines".
But sometimes it is required to keep the spaces at the end of a line.
In kde4 if you leave the cursor after the trailing spaces and save the file
they are being kept. But in kde5 it is broken. And this is very annoying. The
only way left is to change the setting, save the file, and then change the
setting back. So the old behaviour must be restored.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Configure -> File opening & savig -> General
2. Change Remove trailing spaces: to "on modified lines" and save
3. Create a new line with some text and trailing spaces
4. Create the second line with some text and trailing spaces
5. Leave the cursor at the end of the second line
4. Save the text
OBSERVED RESULT
The trailing spaces on the both lines are removed
EXPECTED RESULT
The trailing spaces on the fist line should be removed while on the second line
the spaces to the left of the cursor must be kept.
