I open Dolphin, open some file in Kate. Then switch back to Dolphin and try opening another file in Kate. I am switched to Kate but the file is not opened and there is no error message. Same thing happens when running it from Konsole. It would appear that something around the KDBusService got broken perhaps as it looks like Kate is not being passed the filename to open and/or is simply not opening the file. This happens with recent git version of Kate.
Each time you want to open a file from dolphin a new instance is created. Closing kate using the close button of window frame doesn't stop current instance. Therefore you have multiple instances running in the background. I'm not sure which instance is selected if you try to open the next file from dolphin. If you force closing the "background" instances it works as expected. Using File->Exit works. Kate Version: 15.08.3
Is it possible that you updated frameworks to 5.17? There is a fix in Kate for 15.12 for a change in frameworks that triggers this bug in Kate.
Created attachment 96090 [details] attachment-8356-0.html I use my notebook for daily work. Therefore it don't want to change to the unstable branch of opensuse. I re-check it if 15.12 is available in the offical repositories of opensuse. Regards Torsten -------------------- Diese E-Mail enthält vertrauliche und/oder rechtlich geschützte Informationen.
