Can you try this in a different account (fresh) and report back, please?
With a new account, configured via the TDE wizard with only a change to the classic look, Kate works the way everyone has described it. With Settings -> Sessons -> Open last saved sesson, Save Session, the changes are remembered. I also tried Kate on another account where Kate isn't used, and it also behaves correctly; that account, like the one I use most, predates installation of Trinity. So it appears that there is something in my most-used account that is interfering with Kate's ability to remember its session settings, which might or might not have been carried over from KDE3, or come from Gnome, or XFCE.

Thanks so it was quite a bit of a progress. Now we see it is a local problem and not a bug in the app.
I see here also file - might be relevant .trinity/share/config/session/kate* on my system it is from 2015 ... seems very old, but the default session in ./share/apps/kate/sessions/ is also from 2015. I recall I stopped using it as it was having some issues I do not recall ATM. I started using custom sessions related to group of tasks/documents
You can also try diff -r old/new .trinity dir
I checked quickly here
