Re: [opensuse-factory] Kwright & Kate
The original install was with Leap 42.1 specifying that kwrite be installed, but not kate or any other related package. All updates were installed within a day or two. This process worked well with 13.1 The only fix was to install kate. And the recent addition of tabs caused confusion with documents apparently disappearing. No, I don't spend several hours checking details in the documentation with every fresh install, and updates are currently big mysteries as to what the changes are.

We should take this discussion to bugzilla as it seems that kwrite is missing a dependency. Could you file a bug and add davejplater@gmail.com as cc. Sorry, but what dependency do you think is missing?
kwrite does *not* need kate to be installed. I just recently tried it on a Tumbleweed KDE LiveCD (which doesn't have kate installed, because kate is not installed at all on a standard KDE installation), and it worked fine.
I think it would be interesting to know what kind of installation the OP had to be able to tell more. Maybe something is missing if one tries to install kwrite on a non-KDE installation... At least on a KDE installation, it should work fine.

And it still works fine here. As I wrote, I just recently tried on a Tumbleweed LiveCD which doesn't have kate installed. Maybe if you did not do a standard KDE installation (maybe GNOME and then installed kwrite only additionally) that something *may* be missing. I have not tried that. But again, kwrite doesn't need kate to be installed.
The only fix was to install kate. And the recent addition of tabs caused confusion with documents apparently disappearing.
Hm? Kwrite doesn't have tabs at all. Kate does, and kate apparently does need to have kate installed obviously. Sure that you really tried to run kwrite? And I don't really understand the part about documents disappearing either.

??? How's this related? Somehow this (especially this paragraph) reminded me of this forum thread though: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/519283-LEAP-43-2-KDE5-Kwrite-and-... I suppose you are the same person, right? (johnlb2002 and John L Bowling does sound similar) So we've been through this already...

I'm not sure if this will help, but I too was caught off-guard by the tabs in kate. The good thing is, at least in the latest version, you can simply turn them off and be back to (pretty much) the same old kate interface we have had since kde 3.5.10. Settings -> [ ] Show Tabs (snippets backend has changed, and there are some changes to the editor as far as how auto-indent behaves, but all-in-all, it's just plain old kate/kwrite under the hood with some funky new preview bar instead of the old scrollbar - which can also be turned off to recover real-estate.) -- David C.
