SUMMARY Cursor position is not saved for closed tabs other than last active tab. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. In a session, open two or more tabs with enough content to scroll through. 2. Scroll down to any position in two or more tabs. 3. Close and open Kate and open same session as in step 1. OBSERVED RESULT The last active tab (the tab that was open before Kate was closed) will have its cursor position remembered. All other tabs have their cursor position set to the top, discarding the previous cursor position. EXPECTED RESULT The cursor position should be where it last was before closing for all tabs and not just the last active tab.

Git commit f5ac709b3aab7228a269eb5bb869a21551267a26 by Christoph Cullmann, on behalf of Waqar Ahmed. Committed on 13/07/2025 at 13:44. Pushed by cullmann into branch 'master'. Fix cursor position not being restored with multiple views The session autosave that we trigger when starting up should specify autosave=true, otherwise during session save we delete the session config groups when saving data. Add a test for this case, it starts up the app then opens a session with 2 docs and then sets cursor position. We then close the app and start up again similar to how the app is started in real world. Then we check whether cursor position is correct M +75 -0 apps/lib/autotests/kate_view_mgmt_test2.cpp M +1 -1 apps/lib/kateapp.cpp https://invent.kde.org/utilities/kate/-/commit/f5ac709b3aab7228a269eb5bb869a21551267a26
