STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Kate 2. Open three documents 3. Quit Kate 4. Open a text document that will launch Kate using Dolphin OBSERVED RESULT Kate launches but shows only the document you just opened, starting a new blank session with it. EXPECTED RESULT Kate launches with the previous session and appends the newly-opened document to it.
I can confirm this behavior. Of course this only feels like a bug when the setting "Session/Application Startup Behavior" equals to "Load last used session" Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0 Qt Version: 6.7.1 Kate Version: 24.05.0
