This bug can be looked at two ways.

One way is that the screen should have an arbitrary number of panes that can contain whichever files at whichever positions the user wants.  This can be achieved already with KParts (indeed Kate achieves this through embedding multiple kateparts), and it is not the place of katepart to provide this, instead this should be re-assigned to the respective UI components inside kdevelop.  This has the advantage of giving you the function for every text editor.

The other way of looking at this is providing a synchronised multi-column editing mode for a single file in a single buffer.  This would be the job of the text editor, and indeed Kate has an open wish for this, so if you want it, vote for it... bug 67943 (I'm looking at this as a possibility for kde 3.3 / 4.0).

So, either way you look at this, it's either not katepart's problem, or it is and this is a dupe :)

I'd suggest reassigning this to IDEAL mode and any other modes where it is relevant...

Cheers,
Hamish.
