SUMMARY Kate (Version 25.04.3) does not restore untitled files after closing the application, even though auto-save and session restoration options are enabled. This results in data loss if the user closes the app without manually saving the file. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Open Kate (v25.04.3) Create a new file (untitled) and type some text Close Kate without saving the file Ensure the following settings are enabled: Load last used session on startup Automatically save and restore: ✓ Newly-created unsaved files ✓ Files with unsaved changes Reopen Kate OBSERVED RESULT The previously created untitled file is gone, and the text is not restored. EXPECTED RESULT The unsaved untitled file should be restored when Kate is reopened, according to the enabled auto-save and session restore configuration. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: CachyOS KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.2 KDE Frameworks Version: (please fill in if available) Qt Version: (please fill in if available) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This issue does not occur when using Kate Nightly (64-bit AppImage) Version 25.11.70, where the untitled file is successfully preserved and restored after closing and reopening the application.
