Description Leo Savernik 2005-11-20 22:27:10 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

Whenever a file is refreshed (F5), recent versions of Kate set the cursor to the first line of the file.

Older versions (KDE 3.2) kept the cursor in the original line (or at the end if the reloaded file was too short), which was a much better solution usability-wise, as most refreshed files haven't been altered very much in the meantime.

I hope this can be fixed before KDE 3.5.1.

Whoops, this has just been committed *today*. I'd better read the lists *first*.

For me, it's not working anymore. Cursor is position in the first line, first character after a reload agian. Tested on several installs.

Neither in KDE Development Platform 4.13.3, Kate 3.13.3 nor in Kate 16.08.

Hi, I tried it with 16.08, arch linux build, works.
Same for master branch build.
Any way to reproduce that?

I tested it again, and it works here too with local files, but not with sftp:// or fish://
