DESCRIPTION
Kate and virtual desktops on Wayland

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open dolphin on 2 different virtual desktops
2. Open a file with text or whatever in it, on the first virtual desktops, with Kate
3. Open a file with text or whatever in it, on the second virtual desktops, with Kate

OBSERVED RESULT
When the second file is opened, the virtual desktop jumps to the first one with the first opened file in Kate, but the file is opened on the second virtual desktop.

EXPECTED RESULT
The files should open on the virtual desktop, where they was opened.
If I use kwrite to open both files, it works as expected.

KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.7.0

Yeah, that is unfortunately a known issue, so far there is no api for that.
