In case it's relevant, these are the permissions for my Kate config files in ~/.config:

Comment 2 Noah Davis 2021-08-19 19:06:29 UTC 
I am closing Kate using the X button in the titlebar or Ctrl+Q. From what I can see, Kate is not crashing when closed, so there's no obvious reason why the settings aren't being saved.
Comment 3 Waqar Ahmed 2021-08-20 12:08:27 UTC 
This is due to reworking of Sessions in kate.
