Description Richard Bowen 2019-03-09 17:43:44 UTC

SUMMARY
Changing the Kate Schema changes the custom font size (for example 11) to to the Kate's default font size (9). This happens both from the View > Schema menu entry, and when it is set globally in settings.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click Ctrl++/Ctrl+- or use the global settings dialog (Configure Kate...) to increase/decrease the font size. It should be something other than the default. 11 is a noticeable size.
2. Change the Kate schema from the View > Schema menu or from the globally from the Configure Kate settings dialog. 
3. Observe the font size revert to the default font size.

OBSERVED RESULT
The custom, user set font size gets changed to the default font size when a Schema is changed. 

EXPECTED RESULT
Whenever a schema is changed, it should respect the user defined settings, namely the font size in this case.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
MacOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: Linux archlinux 5.0.0-arch1-1-ARCH
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.55.0 
Qt Version: 5.12.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I noticed that for the default schema, the change in font size change is registered for that schema only. Are the schemas that decoupled that they don't share application data such as the font size set by the user?

I'm using Plasma on Wayland.

When you select a color scheme in ktexteditor/kate, it'll use the font size set for that scheme (you can set the font size per scheme from the config dialog), if no font is set in the scheme itself it falls back to the font set in KDE settings. The problem with the approach you're proposing is that changing the color scheme won't respect the font size the user has set for that particular scheme...

It seems I set this to NEEDSINFO by mistake, I was just stating my opinion/thoughts on the bug reported here...

Comment 5 Christoph Cullmann 2020-12-20 19:24:48 UTC

This got fixed by the change that a theme no longer contains the font.
