SUMMARY
When Kate starts, there is an error that says "The specified folder does not exist or was not readable" without any explanation whatsoever. When I first opened the file I thought it would refuse to open a file, but then it opened normally without any issues.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch Kate


OBSERVED RESULT
"The specified folder does not exist or was not readable" and then opens file without any issues.

EXPECTED RESULT
Launching Kate without any errors and issues.
