Description Richard Neill 2024-10-14 23:26:05 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1.  Open Kwrite.
2.  Settings -> Toolbars Shown -> Uncheck both.
3.  Ctrl-N (to open a new window)

OBSERVED RESULT

The new window has both the main and hamburger toolbars.

EXPECTED RESULT

The new window has the same toolbars as I selected, i.e. none.

Likewise, even if I set up only a single instance of kwrite, then close it and restart it - these toolbars keep coming back!
(It's somewhat annoying, given the shortage of vertical space - and that the main toolbar merely replicates functions from the menu-bar, making it entirely redundant.)

This is on Ubuntu 24.10.

True. Second window will not have the settings and if one closes such a window last that wrong config is saved.

This issue persists on newer versions of KDE Plasma.
I have also noticed how this not only affects KWrite, but Kate as well, leading me to think it's a problem shoved in the depths of Kate and not exclusive to KWrite.
