Did your document live in a project which has a .editorconfig or a .kateconfig file?

Comment 2 Waqar Ahmed 2023-08-09 15:36:52 UTC

project / directory

Comment 3 Benjamin 2023-08-09 16:41:21 UTC

Yes, there is some .editorconfig file ib the same folder, containing "trim_trailing_whitespace = true". So that seems to be the actual issue I have (sorry, not a bug then).

Is there a way to override this behavior without editing the .editorconfig file?

No. The purpose of that file is to override editor's own config and provide same behaviour regardless of the editor.
