--- Comment #4 from php4...@gmail.com ---
I strongly disagree with classifying this as "wishlist".

There are two things here:

1. The fact that when you save and the contents are changed (whatever the
changes are and even if it is as per the settings), the first time that happens
a warning should be shown with a "don't show again" option. That I can
understand classifying as wishlist. It is standard behavior that one expects
from any decent software, but it can be considered a feature request.

2. The fact that when you save the file and add a newline at the end, that
newline is not shown. It is not shown in the same way it is when you close and
reopen the file. This is a bug, and I don't know whether you call it "critical"
or not, but it's pretty bad: you are not showing the current content of the
file as-is. That's definitely way above wishlist. What will happen if I go to
the end of the file and add something at the very end? Will that be added after
or before the now-already-existing newline? What if I manually add a newline
(which will look like it's the only newline at the end of the last line, while
in fact Kate had already added another one)? Will there be one or two newline
when saving?
 How can I trust an editor that does not show me the contents of the thing I'm
editing reliably? One thing is that it doesn't warn me when modifying upon
saving because that obeys a setting, but not showing the current contents
reliably is a huge bug. It is not just a feature that is missing.
