Hi, I'm on master branch of everything. The problem still persists.

Open Kate
New File
Dynamic Word Wrap is enabled
Disable Dynamic Word Wrap
Close Kate
Open Kate again
New File
Dynamic Word Wrap is enabled ???

However, the setting seems to persist on "real files", not for scratch buffers. Why?

Comment 4 Chris 2024-06-10 07:15:19 UTC

Yes, I was just about to report this bug.
(this is an automatic translation into English!)

The automatic line break is set in:
Settings -> Setup -> Appearance -> Automatic line break
and
View -> Line break -> Automatic line break

I'm working on a file and suddenly I notice that a horizontal bar appears at the bottom and the line I'm writing on is getting longer and longer. Automatic line break no longer occurs.

I haven't yet figured out whether it happens immediately when I open the file or at some point in the middle of working.

Under Settings -> Setup -> Appearance -> Automatic line break
the checkbox is still checked.
But under View -> Line break -> Automatic line break
it is missing and needs to be reset.

If I do that, reset the checkbox, it lasts for a while.
Maybe until I reopen the file next time, or maybe it lasts 10x closing and opening.
It seems to randomly reoccur.

By the way: Why are there two setting options (locations) for the same thing?
Isn't that contradictory?

Comment 5 Christoph Cullmann 2024-06-12 19:14:57 UTC

Should be fixed with Frameworks 6.3.(In reply to ratijas from comment #3)

That is expected, that setting is per view, to alter the general setting one must go to the config dialog.

Comment 6 Christoph Cullmann 2024-06-12 19:16:10 UTC

The issue that we loose the setting is fixed, with Frameworks 6.3. That the setting in the view menu is not persistent for the app is per design, the settings dialog has the global option for that.
