Bug ID: 460832
Summary: The "Show Tabs" option is confusing
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 22.08.1
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kwrite
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: zocsfxljsgpmiua...@protonmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
On Kate, clicking on the option "Show Tabs" on the "Settings" menu changes
between showing the tab bar or not, no matter the number of tabs open. On
KWrite, the same option only makes effect when there are various tabs, because
the tab bar itself is only shown in that case. This is confusing, because when
there is only one tab (and thus, the tab bar isn't being shown) clicking on the
"Show Tabs" option does nothing, the tab bar is already hidden and cannot be
shown.
Besides that, the necessity of the option itself is dubious on KWrite. The tab
bar is already hidden when there aren't other tabs open, and it doesn't seem of
much use hide it when there are various tabs, making the program harder to use
(one can still change between tabs with a keyboard shortcut).
