Description musicalstrength27 2024-09-23 09:01:00 UTC 
Hi,
KDE has an issue with the text editor resetting. When I go to the default applications, change from Kate to Visual Studio Code, and confirm the changes, close the settings window and reopen it, it’s set back to Kate instead of Visual Studio Code.

Here’s a video where I open the settings from the terminal because I want it to be in English. Even when opening the settings normally, the issue still persists. This bug requires fixing:
