Description reescf 2017-10-14 01:08:48 UTC

Note that some menu texts may not match precisely because Kile's interface uses a mixture of English and Welsh. Hence, some texts have been roughly translated by me back to English and may not be identical to the content of the English version.

Settings > Configure Kile > Editor > Open/Save > Modes & Filetypes

Select Markup/LaTeX from menu (why this isn't default in a TeX editor, I don't know - but that is not a bug, more a wish, and this is a bug report)

Click on the little button to the right of the box containing the options for 'Variables'.

Scroll down through the list with a mouse's scroll button (not using the scroll bar).

Scrolling through the list of options is dangerous, because some options use drop-down menus and scrolling past *them* switches the scrolling input to the drop-down menu. This causes the list to stop scrolling and the default font, say, to be changed to Symbola or NotoNaskhArabicUI-Bold. Moreover, it is very easy not to notice this happening *and* the font set here overrides the font configured under Editor > Fonts & Colours > Font.

Scrolling should switch to scrolling through the drop-down menu only after I have clicked on that menu to activate the drop-down list. It should not be activated when I am merely scrolling through the options.
