--- Comment #1 from Chris <k...@ontoemail.com> --- I am also affected by this bug after switching from KDE 4. I use Kate as a plain text editor (no line numbers, etc.), and use KDevelop for programming (show line numbers, etc.). Being forced to use the same editor settings means I am forced to choose between Kate and KDevelop. It appears that the only way to get my previous setup would be to use a GTK based text editor to replace Kate. For me, the best solution would be if I could setup my "global" settings in Kate, then tick a box in KDevelop editor settings saying "program specific settings" and setup my programming environment. My System: Linux Mint 18 with Kate 15.12.3 (from packages) and KDevelop 5.0.1 (compiled from source). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
