Attachments: The broken katesession after it's chopped it down.

Description Félim Whiteley 2023-03-28 09:42:50 UTC 
SUMMARY
If I close Kate normally, a lot (doesn't always happen but often) the particular katesession is chopped down to size and doesn't load anything.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Load a session with some open repos and files etc.
2. Close Kate
3. Reopen Kate and the sessions doesn't work stays on the welcome page

OBSERVED RESULT
I have a copy of the main session file I use handily in my home dir as I have to often cp over the one in Kates config dir. Here is a list of the one it should be and what happenes after a Kate close. Often times I always have Kate running, close it then reboot for updates. Not instantly so unless something is typing it up I don't know.

There is also a bug with the keybinds resetting sometimes after kate has been closed and then opened back up. I don't know if that's related.

Still happening as of

4:23.04.1-0xneon+22.04+jammy+release+build20

I've tried recreating with smaller session profiles but it doesn't, so it appears to be size related. I have to keep a copy in my homedir to overwrite the broken one on each restart.
