The window size isn't remembered anymore on Windows. I do not know which version was installed previously so I'm unsure when this was introduced. I use the .exe installer from https://binary-factory.kde.org/view/Windows%2064-bit/job/Kate_Release_win64/ to get Kate. If there is a setting which controls this I can't find it. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start Kate 2. Resize the window 3. Close Kate 4. Re-open Kate OBSERVED RESULT The window size goes back to what it was in step 1. EXPECTED RESULT The window should be the size it was in step 2. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 10 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.75.0 Qt Version: 5.15.1
We have a similar problem for Kdenlive on Windows, wondering if it is a KDE Frameworks bug. Can you check the .katerc file to see if some random characters are written in it ? Kdenlive bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=429264
Yes, I can confirm that katerc (in [User]/AppData/Local on Windows if anyone is having trouble locating) has many such lines in the [MainWindow] section for Width, Height, XPosition and YPosition in various states of being cut off with strings like DISPLAY1 and \\ prepended e.g. \\ght 864=786 \\ight 864=646 \\osition=47 \\sition=30 \\th 1536=1010 and \\.\\ISPLAY1 Height 864=532 \\.\\ISPLAY1 Width 1536=760 \\.\\ISPLAY1 XPosition=448 \\.\\ISPLAY1 YPosition=172
