kate-25.04.0-1.fc40.x86_64 I do a lot of copy pasting (by using the middle click) from one view to another in a split view. However, since this is a single action when using the middle click, if the search box (or I guess anything that appears in that same spot) is open in one, but not the other, then the view moves position (to accommodate for the previously hidden/showing search box) and the text is pasted, not where I clicked, but where ever it moved to. Fix options: -put the search bar "in" the view, so it doesn't jump when switching between views -if activated, keep the search bar open for all views, even if activated in just one -do not move the position where the views are split on when switching between views (Best option, I think) Steps to reproduce: Open a kate instance, split into a top and bottom view with any documents that have more text than fit in the view (so scrolling is required). Open search (eg, by ctrl+F), then mouse click between views and watch the text jump position. Try highlighting and middle-click pasting from one to the other, and note the paste going on the wrong line.
