Description mack 2025-01-04 21:44:53 UTC

SUMMARY
My View/Borders preferences don't save.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Uncheck View/Borders/ShowLineNumbers and View/Borders/ScrollbarMini-Map
2. Save a text document and close Kwrite
3. Reopen Kwrite

OBSERVED RESULT
The preference didn't save; the two features are back on again.

EXPECTED RESULT
The preference should have been saved; the two features should remain off.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Debian 12 has no such package as "kinfo".

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I searched for this bug before adding. I have tested ALL available text editors. Medit support no longer available in Debian 12. Due to the feature set, Kwrite is now my only viable text editor. Kwrite v22.12.3 is the one recommended as stable by Debian 12, and therefore installed. If there is already a fix, I'd appreciate knowing about it. If not, please add this fix to the next revision. Thanks for your efforts.

You need to alter these settings in the preferences dialog to be persistent, the ones in the menu are only for the current view.

No problem.
