email to kate editor distro list

SUMMARY
Using Kate's built-in terminal won't allow saving profile settings (with either default or new profiles).
Sent this as an email originally to KWrite-Devel <kwrite-devel-bounces@kde.org> and someone there mentioned I should file a bug about it. That email is attached as a PDF.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install kate-master-7103-macos-clang-arm64.dmg on mac os
2. Open the in-editor terminal
3. Right click in the terminal area, try to create a profile for settings storage, and attempt to change settings.
4. I bump my font size up to 14 and can see that happen immediately behind the profile dialog window (ah much better, default of size 10 is way too small for me).

OBSERVED RESULT
You can't save the settings change (i.e. i was trying to change the font size because it defaults to something very small  - size 10 perhaps). The error banner shown on the settings dialog is "profile name exceeded maximum allowed length (-9)".

EXPECTED RESULT
Font size is saved.

related to this: inside the konsole part if I select Switch Profile to the non-default, then restart kate the default profile is restored. not the profile I selected

Comment 2 Allen Winter 2024-12-19 12:07:57 UTC

to clarify, the kate konsole part is using built-in, rather than the default profile I set in my konsolerc

my konsolerc has:
```
[Desktop Entry]
DefaultProfile=Allen.profile
```
