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 2011-11-25 20:06:01 CST 
I have this option disabled. Kate still notifies me when a file is changed.

Seems this option does not disable notifications, but only modifies how the notification takes place.

There is no option to truly disable tracking changes. Sometimes viewing a live file as a static snapshot is desired without interruptions.

Also, KWrite seems to inherit the notification option through the Kate KParts. KWrite also keeps displaying these reminders.

Dialog mockup to demonstrate resolution

The attached image shows an additional check box in the Kate Settings dialog:

| | Warn when Kate receives focus

The original check box remains as written now. The purpose would change to enabling/disabling notifications. The second check box would control how Kate notifies of modifications:

| | Warn about files modified by foreign processes
    | | Warn when Kate receives focus

When the first check box is disabled, the second check box would be ghosted and not functional.

When the first check box is disabled, Kate provides no warnings at all.

When the first check box is enabled, the second check box is enabled and controls the behavior currently now seen in Kate: whether to provide the warning when Kate receives the focus or when the document in Kate receives the focus.

Initial patch: very basic

I created the image mockup with a copy-and-pasting of code. Yet remaining to do:

* Indent the second check box

* Disable/ghost the second check box when the first check box is disabled.

* Move the control functions from the original first check box to the new second check box.

* Add a new function associated with the first check box to fully disable warnings.
