Description wojablonski 2026-02-10 09:44:35 UTC

SUMMARY
Cursor position is forgotten for files that were not visited during a session

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set "Load last used session" option in Session > Application startup behaviour 
2. Open 3 long files (A, B, C), scroll them to bottom, place the cursor around there 
3. Close and reopen Kate. View/visit/activate files B and C. Do not view file A
4. Close and reopen Kate

OBSERVED RESULT
Cursor and scroll position in file A are reset to top. For files B and C they are correctly remembered

EXPECTED RESULT
Cursor and scroll position should be remembered for all open files, even if they were not viewed in a while
