By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Darrell 2011-03-18 12:15:41 CDT 
Before KDE 3.5 Kate supported true MDI and Projects. With 3.5, Projects were replaced by sessions and no longer supported MDI.

Users should be allowed to choose which mode they prefer, not developers. Many people were upset with the change to sessions and SDI.

Hopefully supporting both modes is possible. Configuring for one or the other would be through a check box or two in the settings dialog boxes.

If both modes are too challenging to maintain, I would like to see a poll about bring back the older MDI/Projects version.

I have a copy of the KDE 3.4.2 sources, when Kate was still using that mode.

Changing status back to NEW for too long inactivity
Comment 3 Michele Calgaro 2018-07-27 10:59:05 CDT 
Closing. No point to trigger another line of complains by going back in time.
Plus R14.1.0 will bring more powerful features with session panel
