Description Nate Graham 2021-12-11 21:52:23 UTC

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kate
2. Open three documents
3. Quit Kate
4. Open a text document that will launch Kate using Dolphin


OBSERVED RESULT
Kate launches but shows only the document you just opened, starting a new blank session with it.


EXPECTED RESULT
Kate launches with the previous session and appends the newly-opened document to it.

I can confirm this behavior. Of course this only feels like a bug when the setting "Session/Application Startup Behavior" equals to "Load last used session"

Operating System: Arch Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0
Qt Version: 6.7.1
Kate Version: 24.05.0
