I recently upgraded to KDE 3.5. The new version of Kate threw out my custom toolbar. That's bad enough, but now I can't recreate it. For one thing, the little file-selector item that would make buttons in the toolbar for each open file seems to be gone. I can't find it in any of the toolbar item lists. For another, buttons that aren't in the list show up in the toolbar, no matter what. For example, the Save, Save As, and Print buttons don't show up in the list of items in the main toolbar, but they always show up in the actual toolbar. All of the line separators show up in the list, but not the buttons. Also, there are two "Open..." items in the toolbar list, but only one of them shows up in the actual toolbar when it's added to it. I have attached a screenshot to show you what I mean. Notice the difference between the "Current actions:" and the actual toolbar in Kate.
It seems that kate merges the "Main Toolbar <kate>" and "Main Toolbar <KateViewPart>" to create it's toolbar. I don't understand the two Open... actions, and I also don't remember the file-selector action, but I also don't use kate that often. Josh
1) Toolbar content (Main toolbar KatePartView) is variable from time to time, sometimes it contains everything I have specified, sometimes not. If I have several documents open in the same instance of kate - the only way I use it, one may have all the items, and the others a reduced set (Main toolbar Kate plus a subset of Main toolbar KatePartView). But moving between documents changes the arrangement, and loses icons, until I am back with the reduced set on all documents. It seems that the Main toolbar KatePartView comes and goes as it pleases, and gets promiscuously mixed in with the Main toolbar Kate. If I add or subtract something on the Main toolbar KatePartView, and apply it, everything suddenly appears, and in a reasonable sequence. However, as I move from document to document, they drop off, until I am left with the reduced set. 2) Toolbar content is in a semi random sequence when the Main toolbar KatePartView is visible. There is very little relation between what I see and what the configuration window shows. 3) Save and Save As are available in both toolbars. I did have them specified in the KatePartView toolbar, but now I have them in the Kate toolbar, as they seem to persist. Having made a change (to either bar), on the second document move I find I have two of each. On the third move they are re-arranged, and by the fourth I am back to one each with the final reduced set. Andy Goss
The Save, Save As and Save All functions in the Kate toolbar are for Sessions, although they have the same icons as for file save in the KatePartView. This is very confusing.
tags 348427 + moreinfo thanks Hi, you reported http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=348427 some time ago. Since then, KDE Software Compilation had several releases. Can you please verify whether the bug you reported is still present in a more current version (and - if yes - specify which version)? Eckhart

Eckhart. Yes, I have just done a fresh install of Lenny KDE on a new box, this time 64 bit, and the bug is still very much alive in Kate 3.5.10. Andy Goss On Thu, 1 Apr 2010 05:36:19 am Eckhart Wörner wrote:
