Description: KDE Integrated LaTeX Environment
 Kile is a user-friendly LaTeX source editor and TeX shell for KDE.
 .
 The source editor is a multi-document editor designed for .tex and .bib
 files.  Menus, wizards and auto-completion are provided to assist with
 tag insertion and code generation.  A structural view of the document
 assists with navigation within source files.
 .
 The TeX shell integrates the various tools required for TeX processing.
 It assists with LaTeX compilation, DVI and postscript document viewing,
 generation of bibliographies and indices and other common tasks.
 .
 Kile can support large projects consisting of several smaller files.
Comment 1 Stephan Saalfeld 2022-11-13 20:31:24 UTC 
This is still the same in Ubuntu 22.04.
Comment 2 Kishore Gopalakrishnan 2023-10-22 06:48:59 UTC 
Unable to reproduce on Arch Linux with the same version of Kile.

kile 2.9.93
Operating System: Arch Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.8
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.111.0
Qt Version: 5.15.11
Graphics Platform: X11
Comment 3 Samuel Jimenez 2024-04-29 20:57:16 UTC 
This happens sporadically on 2.9.95
Operating System: Arch Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.1.0
Qt Version: 6.7.0

If an entry for the file is created in kilerc, it remains persistent. (This corresponds to View >Word Wrap > Dynamic Word Wrap)
[View-Settings,View=0,URL=file://:@/path/to/file.tex]
Dynamic Word Wrap=true

However, until this is saved per-file, the setting inherited from KTextEditor is not consistently respected.
(Settings > Configure > Kile > Editor > Appearance > Dynamic Word Wrap)
[KTextEditor View]
Dynamic Word Wrap=true

Are you sure this is not a ktexteditor bug? I seem to be seeing similar behaviour in Kate too.

In which version of Kate do you see this?
I cannot reproduce in Kate version 24.02.2.

While I don't claim to be sure, I see it around 50% in Kile.

I also have kate 24.02.2, and dynamic word wrapping occasionally gets disabled in some new windows (the same happens for me in Kile).

If you are seeing it in kate, that would indicate it is in ktexteditor or some other unit of katepart shared between the two.

Has an upstream bug been opened for this?
Comment 8 T Snow 2024-05-14 23:36:17 UTC 
Could it be this commit by any chance?

https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/ktexteditor/-/commit/43978aa976c1c95991d89da1f813d7be1d690bec

I'm able to reproduce on:

Arch Linux
Kate: Version 24.02.2
Qt: Version 6.7.0 (built against 6.7.0)
KDE Frameworks: Version 6.2.0
ktexteditor: Version 6.2.0

I did notice I also have ktexteditor5 installed, I wonder if it's conflicting, can anyone check if they have that installed as well?
