Description twidd 2020-03-04 20:10:13 UTC 
SUMMARY:

Hey guys! I would like to change the background color in KDevelop. But when I change the background color in KDevelop settings, the color automatically changes in Kate editor. :)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Install KDevelop 5.2.1 from repository.
2. Start KDevelop 5.2.1.
3. Go to "Settings" - "Configure KDevelop" - "Fonts & Colors" - "Default schema for KDevelop" - change for "Breeze Dark".
4. Press OK.
5. Now open Kate editor and... we see black background there.

OBSERVED RESULT:

Option "Default schema for KDevelop" affects Kate editor.

EXPECTED RESULT:

Option "Default schema for KDevelop" should NOT affect other editors.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS:

Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 18.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.12.9
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.44.0
Qt Version: 5.9.5

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

There is no such problem in Appimage (KDevelop 5.5.0) version, but I think this is due to the specifics of the package manager itself, and not related to KDevelop version.

I'm fairly sure that this behaviour was changed to what your propose here a while ago. It actually way like that long ago as well.

Please try on an up-to-date version of KDevelop and kate (5.2 is years old).

Hey, Sven! Thanks for reply. I will check fresh version tomorrow in virtualbox!

I'm sorry, but where I can find an official repository with KDevelop 5.5.0 for Kubuntu 18.04?
Comment 4 Francis Herne 2020-03-05 15:34:50 UTC 
There isn't one - building packages for every version of all the distros wouldn't be practical, that's why there's an AppImage.

KDevelop 5.5 is still compatible with the library versions found in 18.04, so you could build it locally:
https://community.kde.org/KDevelop/HowToCompile_v5

If you're interested in using up-to-date KDE software on top of Ubuntu LTS, you may be interested in the KDE Neon distro https://neon.kde.org/faq which is pretty much that.

(you can't install just the KDevelop package from Neon, because it's built against a newer version of KDE Frameworks).

Sorry guys, you was right. Just tried KDE Neon, it was fixed. :)

I hope I closed this ticket correctly. Thanks!
