Created attachment 143090 [details] "strace kate" - kate not opening SUMMARY Kate simply fails to open. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start new kde session. 2. open same kate session in 2 instances 3. manually save session 4. log out and log in 5. as 2nd kate opens dialog will come up asking if ' ... reopen here or in other instance ... ' on clicking no , kate is broken and wont open new instances.if i dont click anything , kate works fine. NOTE: not entirely sure the steps will reproduce the bug , i maybe hitting a very very rare bug .
cannot confirm with kate 21.08.2 Created new kate test-session Saved kate session Exit kate start kate select kate test-session start another kate instance select kate test-session. select NO result a second kate instance is running, as expected (on top of the first one). Haven't tried to log in and out of KDE, but I don't think that should matter
Can you try with a more recent version of KATE? You report using Kate 19.12.3

Open 2 kate instances both running same kate session , then logout and login into KDE on logging in , KDE will spawn 2 kate instances , both running same kate session. Maybe some sort of dead lock / race condidtion being triggered at this point. Okay will try with 21.08.2.
