SUMMARY
The "default" profile seems to receive special treatment in console, and is hidden from the list in Settings -> Manage Profiles.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE (from memory, might not be exact)
1. On a fresh Konsole install, Settings -> Edit Current Profile
2. Change the font size
3. Attempt to save. There will be an error that the profile must have a name.
4. Name the profile "Local".
5. Go to Settings -> Manage Profiles.

OBSERVED RESULT
Only the "Local" profile shows up, but in Settings -> Switch Profile, both Default and Local show up.

EXPECTED RESULT
The Default profile should be included in the Manage Profiles list.

At one time, this was by design since if you change any setting, you have to save a new profile.

The default is something you can't change and can always go back to.

It is indeed confusing when the "Default" profile isn't listed; I am thinking of showing it in the dialog and disabling the Edit button for it, i.e. you can "set as default" or create a "New" profile based on the Default one but not "edit" it, I'll how that goes and create a merge request.

In early versions there used to be a checkbox in the profile list to control whether to show the profile (as an option) in the "New Tab" and "Switch Profile" (as the form of sub-menu) etc., seems they're gone in latest versions ? It's a bit annoying now every time I do "File - New Tab" from the menu, I have to go into sub-menu and pick my default profile (before I made only mine visible so there was no sub-menu in this), possible to bring that checkbox back ? Cheers

Show the Default/fallback profile in the profile manager dialog

Let the Default/fallback profile be shown in the Profile Manager dialog,
and disable the Edit and Delete buttons for it, it can be "cloned" by
using the New button.
