Description Vadym Krevs 2016-01-07 09:22:08 UTC 
openSUSE Leap 42.1 + latest KDE Frameworks/Applications from openSUSE OBS

Under KDE 4.14 in openSUSE 13.2 one could open several konsole instances (possibly on different virtual desktops), create several tabs in each, rename some/all tabs, then log off from KDE, log back on, and then all  konsole windows with the exact number of tabs/renamed tab titles would get restored on correct virtual desktops.

This no longer works in plasma5 (neither the stock one shipped with openSUSE Leap 42.1 not the latest from OBS). In fact, no konsole instances are re-spawned after login, and so all tab configuration has to be redone from scratch.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login into Plasma desktop. Launch two konsole instances. 
2. Create 3 tabs in each konsole instance and rename each created tab.
3. Log off and log on again.

Actual Results:  
There are no konsole instances running after step 3.

Expected Results:  
Two konsole instances are running after step 3, with the exact same configuration (number of tabs, tab titles, location on respective virtual desktop) as before logoff.

Interestingly, non-KDE applications like Pidgin and Thunderbird and Google-chrome do get restarted after step 3 if they were running before log off.

When I ran into this I thought it was just an aspect of 341143 (multiple virtual desktop fiasco), but it happens even with just one desktop.  Sometimes I get konsole windows on restart but not the sizes and tabs I had when logging off.  Since I start KDE with 8 terminal tabs across 6 windows of very specifically chosen sizes, this is a real time waster.  Fix please!
Comment 2 Wolfgang Bauer 2016-03-06 12:16:55 UTC 
Actually this should be fixed in openSUSE Leap 42.1 since the latest update last Tuesday.
See https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=955280 and https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354724

And it was no bug in Konsole anyway, but a general problem with Qt5 applications.

If your distribution doesn't backport the patches, you'll have to wait for KDE Frameworks 5.20.0 and Qt 5.6.0 though.
