[Bug 774985]

[Kde-7]

This is a bug, and not a wish!
I came here today because I wanted to file a bug about exactly this totally unexpected behavior of Kate and first searched if it is already reported. It is reported 5 times, exactly this or a closely related bad behavior, the first reports dating back to the year 2011 and 2013. Calling it a wish because someone might by chance find some hidden workaround is not helpful for the user. The repeated reports clearly show this. Classifying it a wish might be good to fake the statistics about KDE software related bugs to look better, though. But calling it a wish does not resolve the bad behavior and only pushes it deeper into the state of "will never be cared for". As you can read, upon reading the last comment, my mood changed from "Hmmm, I should spent some time to write a helpful bug report" to "I like KDE PLASMA and will continue to use it, but it might be better to not expect the KDE applications to receive support and before even loosing time to write a bug report simply stay with other solutions, like in this case Geany". However, as I have the other report numbers already at hand, here they are:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=268913   (this one, from 2011!)
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=319396   (from 2013)
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=342057   (from 2014)
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332949   (from 2014)
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=382906   (from 2017)
I wanted to write all this from those 5 reports in my own bug report, but as all this is already reported, I should not do so. Now I am unsure. Maybe I have to report it as a new bug, so that after so many years this strange and not expected behavior once might receive attention.
I am using on Debian 9.5 (currently the stable Debian edition):
Kate 16.08.3
KDE Frameworks 5.28.0
Qt 5.7.1 (built against 5.7.1)
The xcb windowing system
