--- Comment #10 from Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> --- After manually cleaning up all my broken session files a while ago, I managed to break a couple of them again today by doing: - start Kate, selecting a particular session from the pop-up window (no problem) - use Sessions->Quick Open Session to switch to a different session (no problem) - use Sessions->Quick Open Session to switch back to the original session (problem) At that point, the original session had no edit panel. I hand-edited the session file, and restarted Kate, and it was working again. However, switching to the other session showed that it had *also* acquired the bad settings, and switching back to the original session again also recreated the problem there. After doing that a couple more times, here's what the "MainWindow0-Splitter 0" section looked like: [MainWindow0-Splitter 0] Children=MainWindow0-Splitter 1,MainWindow0-Splitter 2,MainWindow0-Splitter 3,MainWindow0-Splitter 4,MainWindow0-Splitter 5,MainWindow0-Splitter 6,MainWindow0-Splitter 7,MainWindow0-Splitter 8,MainWindow0-Splitter 9,MainWindow0-Splitter 10,MainWindow0-Splitter 11,MainWindow0-Splitter 12,MainWindow0-Splitter 13,MainWindow0-Splitter 14,MainWindow0-Splitter 15,MainWindow0-Splitter 16,MainWindow0-ViewSpace 0 Orientation=1 Sizes=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 Meanwhile, the other session (the one I was switching *to* each time, before switching back to the original) looked like: [MainWindow0-Splitter 0] Children=MainWindow0-Splitter 1,MainWindow0-Splitter 2,MainWindow0-Splitter 3,MainWindow0-Splitter 4,MainWindow0-Splitter 5,MainWindow0-Splitter 6,MainWindow0-Splitter 7,MainWindow0-Splitter 8,MainWindow0-Splitter 9,MainWindow0-Splitter 10 Orientation=2 Sizes=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 So it seems something is going wrong with the splitter and viewspace definitions when switching back and forth between sessions (in case its relevant - each of the two sessions has 30-60 files currently open, but more than that recorded in the session file) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
