Bug ID: 463068
Summary: UX: remove "Open Widgets" from sidebar when not needed
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 22.12.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: application

Screenshot: unused "Open Widgets" entry, splitting the list of documents in
half
The new settings and welcome page for new tabs introduced an "Open Widgets"
root element in the sidebar, holding these children. Unfortunately when there
are none, it is still displayed and splits the open documents list in half.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a sidebar with the open documents as a tree
2. Have a recent version of kate
OBSERVED RESULT
"Open Widgets" entry that can't be disabled and splits the open documents in
half, even when not needed
EXPECTED RESULT
No such thing
>From an UX perspective I'd recommend to
- Hide that element completely (not disable/grey out) when there are no
children
- When there are, ensure that it is either on top or at bottom, but does not
split the list of open documents in half
