Bug Description

Kubuntu Zesty, kate 4:16.12.3-0ubuntu1

Even though I have already edited several files with Kate, and opened them various ways (File->Open, from Dolphin, from terminal), Kate is not able to provide me with the list of recently opened files. The menu is greyed out.

Attached screenshot (in czech language, hope illustrative though).

Unable to replicate this using kate 4:16.12.3-0ubuntu1 here. My list of recently opened file is being populated as it should.

Data should be in ~/.config/katemetainfos IIRC.

More detail: this happens upon re-starting kate application. While kate is running, the list of recent files is available.

Does anybody has any idea what can I try to help investigating what happens on my computer?

All the files recently opened by me are listed in the file .config/katemetainfos , including those opened long ago (kate launched and exited several times since).

exactly same problem here. ~/.config/katemetainfos contains data about my recent files. there's no katerc in ~/.kde/share/config/.
