After you close kate and start it again with no
arguments a dialog
will pop up and ask for which session to open. In that dialog you
can choose your preferred session and click the button for keeping
it permanently as your default session.
That is the long route to setting 'last-used session'. As I said:
"Settings > configure > sessions > save session (last-used saves open
docs, new session doesn't)."
Select the Settings 'save session' option to save the current session
configuration, e.g. the OP's hidden sidebars and documents tool views.
Select 'start new session' to get a blank slate every time Kate starts.
Select 'load last used session' to reopen any files left open in the
previous session.
What you did was set 'load last used session' via the 'choose session'
menu checkbox. The only reason to select 'choose session' is if you
want to choose a saved session during Kate startup.
