Unfortunately this is an upstream bug. All distributions are hit by this reoccuring Plasma bug. Many users reported this for different distries: Kubuntu, Arch, Fedora, openSUSE, EndeavourOS, ... Only a small sample collection: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/wmksd3/konsole_losing_profiles/ https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/create-new-profile-in-konsole/32594/8 This bug was reported several times against Plasma and got fixed. But it reoccures many times again: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=433210 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=380518 https://kde-bugs-dist.kde.narkive.com/p0LyAAHx/konsole-bug-351231-new-all-profile-settings-get-lost-after-exit-no-configuration-files-written An intermediate solution is described here: https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/create-new-profile-in-konsole/32594 Navigate to .local/share/konsole (hidden folder) Create profil_name.profile Open the new file and paste following into it: [General] Name=profile_name Environment=TERM=konsole-direct,COLORTERM=truecolor Now the profile should stay. Exchange profile_name with a name you prefer. This not a minor issue. CC:

zen25000 Clearly not (nobody said it was), but an old & recurring one (thanks to sturmvogel's researches). I just confirmed that the fault happens on an up-to-date Cauldron system. If the issue really annoys, the solution offered in comment 2 is simple enough. Alternatively, install & use another terminal. Qterminal looks ideal, otherwise Mate-terminal or LX-terminal. Adding for Errata. Assigning to KDE. Component:
Release (media or process) =>
RPM Packages It looks to me as though the main issue is that the menu option "Edit current profile" has been removed in recent versions. This allowed the default to be edited. Now, in order to make any tiny change a new profile must be created, as the default is read only. For most people editing the default to work as preferred is perfectly adequate. Why someone broke this when it was working perfectly well for years eludes me. If you don‘t like the new look of Plasma 5.25/5.26 there is nothing what Mageia can do about it. There was a major overhaul to clean up the menu structure of all Plasma tools and applications. If you have valid reasons to revert some of these changes, the only way is to file an upstream KDE Plasma bug. But the chances are small that it gets reverted as there were several valid reasons for the changes… So this is minor, well known including workaround, and upstream. -> I am inclined to remove FOR_ERRATA, and set it WONTFIX CC:
