Description Xen 2016-10-09 10:07:52 UTC
I am surprised I have not found this bug in the tracker.

For as long as I remember (I started using Kubuntu in Januari of 2015) Konsole consistently forgets the font settings I have made. I have yet to learn why this happens and why eventually ti does remember them, but it may have to do with forcibly closing the application (by cross) while windows are open? I don't know.

But consistently the first couple of time that I set the font to something else, the next time it is reverted.

I managed last time to consistently make it work by CTRL-D (logout) the shell I had opened instead of closing the window. I am not sure if instead there is something that only works after you have done it a few times (or one time).

Other users have also reported this (e.g. in Kubuntu IRC channel).

There is a related bug here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360424

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a fresh user account (suffices to wipe .local clean)
2. Start Konsole, change the font, keep working, close the program eventually
3. Restart it and find your settings have reverted.

Actual Results:  
First few time you do this your settings are back to what they were before.

Expected Results:  
You expect it to remember something.

This bug has been here in Kubuntu 14.10, 15.04, 15.10 and 16.04, most likely. That is to say, I haven't actually used 15.10 (long) but I will venture that it was present in all of them.

I cannot reproduce this issue with Konsole 18.08.2. I changed my font to "Courier" in a new profile, entered a few common commands and closed Konsole via the "X" button. When restarting Konsole, the font was still "Courier". Do you still experience this bug with a newer version of Konsole?
