Description branch8475 2025-03-05 19:08:15 UTC

SUMMARY
Sometimes a file, which is opened in a tab in Kate, is suddenly exchanged by an auto save file.
The content of the document is preserved, but now the document suddenly points to a file in the auto save folder.

For example "$HOME/Documents/Example.txt" is suddenly exchanged by "$HOME/.var/app/org.kde.kate/data/kate/stash/ExampleSession.katesession/Document 2". The file name "Document <number>" is automatically given by Kate.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kate
2. Open a  document as a tab in a Kate session
3. Edit the Document

OBSERVED RESULT

Sometimes after a while the document suddenly points to an auto save file

EXPECTED RESULT

The document keeps pointing to the file from which it was opened.
