Same problem here. I wonder who decided this was a nice "feature" to include. Apparently the files that have been opened as read only due to the line length restriction are logged somewhere in ~/.kde/ and are opened as read only in all future instances without a warning.
A quick and dirty fix: 1) open a terminal 2) remove the .kde directory from your home directory user@machine:~$ rm -rf ~/.kde 3) open kile user@machine:~$ kile & 4) allow long lines settings --> configure kile --> open/save --> line length limit = 0 5) enable dynamic word wrap (if you want) settings --> configure kile --> appearance --> dynamic word wrap 6) close kile and repeat steps 3-6 for kate if you want -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kile in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/997004 Title: Kile complains about "too long lines" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kate/+bug/997004/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
