With 21.12.3 this works for me. and KDE Frameworks Version 5.91.0 I am seeing the same thing on Kubuntu 22.04, with kwrite 21.12.3 and KDE Framework 5.92.0. This is why I am reopening this bug. Please advise on how to investigate further. Created attachment 151486 [details]

Further information: Althought the "Configure kwrite ..." menu entry is missing, the options dialog is accessible through its standard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+, The "Configure ..." menu entry is currently _not_ missing from either kate or kile. Hi, do you have some files in ~/.local/share/kxmlgui5/kwrite ? What happens if you move that folder out of the way for a test? (In reply to Christoph Cullmann from comment #5) > do you have some files in > > ~/.local/share/kxmlgui5/kwrite > > ? What happens if you move that folder out of the way for a test? Yes, there is a file there named kwriteui.rc, which is about 100 lines of XML. When I move this file away, two things happen: 1. The missing "Configure kwrite …" comes back. 2. My toolbar customizations are (partly?!) reset. Both effects revert when I put the file back in place. I'm attaching the kwriteui.rc in question (note that I've never manually edited it, only fiddled with the toolbar editor in kwrite itself), as well as screenshots of both situations.

I think we just had some incompatibility there. I would propose you either just configure your toolbars once from scratch (after removing the file). I see no way to fix that for the old version.

Sure, that does the trick, and it wasn't too much work. Thanks for your time! Sorry for the inconvenience! |
Created attachment 145397 [details] Missing "configure kwrite" menu entry There was no is no longer an entry to configure kwrite in the menu bar. I've had this problem before with other katepart-based applications, e.g. Kile I think. See the attached screenshot.
