Description Davide Marcelli 2014-12-24 12:05:38 UTC 
Every time I open konsole the fonts are bad rendered, are small and cut and the cursor is in a wrong position. (http://imgur.com/eNWYjb2)
Change the font and the size "resolve" the problem but when Konsole is closed the settings aren't saved, so everytime I open the application I have to change again font and size.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Konsole
2.Change settings
3.Close Konsole

Actual Results:  
Settings not saved.

Expected Results:  
Settings saved.

if you launch konsole from for example xterm, do you get a warning like this?: «The font for use in the terminal has not been matched exactly. Perhaps it has not been found properly.»
Comment 2 Martin Sandsmark 2015-06-21 13:33:13 UTC 
it seems like the frameworks version of konsole never saves the default profile, for some reason. I'm trying to fix that now.

The bad font rendering I think is unrelated, but I'll try to fix that afterwards.
Comment 3 Martin Sandsmark 2015-06-21 16:01:58 UTC 
ok, found a workaround while I try to fix it properly; open ~/.config/konsolerc and remove the DefaultProfile entry (it should be something like «DefaultProfile=»), that should fix it.

Pushed by sandsmark into branch 'master'.

Fix storing of profile when no profile loaded.

If for some reason no profile is loaded, i. e. only the built-in
fallback default values are used, we need to create a new profile to
ensure that changes to the profile are actually persisted.

This has worked more or less by chance for most people so far, because
the default is to load the Shell.profile that is shipped with Konsole.
But if for example the konsolerc config file has an empty value for
DefaultProfile it will load the builtin fallback profile, which can't be
saved.
