SUMMARY Scrolling position of long a note shouldn't be difficult to restore. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add Notes applet. 2. Paste some long (possibly multi-line) text into it. 3. Scroll to the bottom. 4. Reboot. OBSERVED RESULT After reboot scrolling position is back to the top of a note. EXPECTED RESULT It should be restored along with other properties such as background color and the text itself.

Git commit 0852fff37d034b18d70803dc8dd294a426565888 by ivan tkachenko. Committed on 29/06/2022 at 15:05. Pushed by ratijas into branch 'master'. applets/notes: Save/restore scrolling and cursor position Makes scrolling position persistent, and takes some care to 1. delay restoring until the text is laid out, 2. throttle storage a little, so that we don't use too much I/O. Component.onDestruction correctly saves the position on exit. It can be tested via D-Bus by calling method quit() at: - Session bus: org.kde.plasmashell - Object path: /MainApplication - Interface: org.qtproject.Qt.QCoreApplication Cursor position restoration can be tested by assigning a global shortcut to an applet, so that it can become focused without actually clicking on it with a mouse and messing with cursor position. Text selection is not handled, and I don't think we should even bother with it.
