Madison, can you please follow http://kate-editor.org/get-it/ and compile Kate from sources? (completely safe, your system installation will remain untouched). There, the Documents tab was completely rewritten, so the problem is probably solved for KDE 4.6. Can you confirm? Following those instructions, the problem remains. It also still shows the same version numbers for both kate and kde. As an aside, is there a way to revert back to the traditional file list layout? I don't know for the tool tip problem, but for the item views, please refer to bug 253022 for an explanation and a problem solution.

Are you absolutely sure you're running the new kate? The new Tree View uses the default KDE colors. So if something is displaying wrong, its most likely due to your global color scheme. > As an aside, is there a way to revert back to the traditional file list layout? Right click context menu on the tree, select "List Mode", or select list mode from the "File Tree" settings page in the settings dialog. I am, unless there is a flaw in that document. I made sure that I was starting the compiled version by going into the ~/kde/usr/bin directory and running ./kate. Can you attach or link to a screen shot of this happening with the tree view (in either list or tree mode). > by going into the ~/kde/usr/bin directory and running ./kate. This is wrong. Start it with the run.sh script, as described in http://kate-editor.org/get-it/ But I agree with Thomas: KDE has lots of colors, is it really no color in the color scheme?

ok, back to the color scheme again: What if you choose different color schemes? What are the values in "systemsettings" > Colors > Colors Tab, then in the combo box "Color set" choose Tooltip. What's the background color here in the preview on the bottom?

What's the background color here in the > preview on the bottom? I don't see those options in Kate. Are those KDE settings? If so, I should re-state that I am running Kate under Gnome. Hrm, I tried changing the theme in Gnome, expecting no change as it is a KDE app. However, switching away from the default "Ambient" theme made the problem go away. I'll refile this as a Gnome/Ubuntu bug. For those interested, this bug has been re-opened as an Ubuntu bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdesdk/+bug/667947 |
