When I use Kate from a command line to open a remote file, and tells it to go to a specifc line (-line bla), it doesn't, since the document didn't load yet. It should go the that line/column once the document get loaded.
Same thing with the “Go to line” bar. If you open it while the document being loaded/downloaded, it will have a max value of 1. When the document is ready that maximum value doesn't change and stay as it is. The bar must be closed and opened again to call KateGotoBar::updateData again.
Valid issue, patches welcome. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 335608 ***
