[Bug 1849455] Re: Externally-opened files no longer open in existing window

[Rik Mills]

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * Quite disruptive to a users workflow if they depend on kate opening files in a tab in the existing window.
+  * The fix is a simple and easily backported patch.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * Open one or more files in Kate
+  * Trigger kate to open another file externally. For example, a text file opened via the file manager.
+  * File should open in a new kate tab in existing window.
+ 
+ 
+ [Regression Potential] 
+ 
+  * A simple already upstream applied patch. This was only not applied to
+ the KDE 19.04 git branch, as it has already received its final release.
+ 
+  * Testers should spend some time testing the other functionality they
+ use to provide evidence that there is no apparent regression. In
+ particular, opening/saving files etc.
+ 
+
