I have a large kate session, with over 800 files open, all toolbars enabled. Everytime i restart kate it opens on a window which height is larger than my desktop resolution. If i maximize kate the footer and tools like search and replace are below where I can see. I can't resize it, it simply won't work. I first tought it was a window manager issue, but if I disable kate's toolbar for TABS, the issue is gone. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a lot of files open on a kate session 2. All toolbars enabled 3. Window height should be the maximum allowed by the desktop 4. Restart kate and load the large session Actual Results: 1. Window height will be greater than desktop's 2. You can't make it smaller 3. Side effect is that search / replace footer toolbar on kate becomes very small Expected Results: Allow resizing. Desktop resoultion is 3840 x 1080 KDE5 Majority of the files on the session are loaded thuru sftp, so it takes a while to fully load.
IMHO fixed by the rewrite of the Kate tabbing. Should work with recent versions.
