How to see that a file is modified?

Hi Erik,

(( you reached the developer mailinglist, please directly use the user support 
mailinglist next time again for such questions:

Moving over to that list now with the reply:

At least in KDevelop 5.4.1 and master the state is still represented by a 
symbol on the tab. The code is still there and has not seen any changes by 
what I saw on a quick change. No idea if this was broken in previous versions.

What Qt widget style do you use? Some styles do not paint icons for menus, 
perhaps some also do the same for tabs.

Or are you using a icon set theme which does not have icons for "document-
save"?

The asterisk on the title bar is also missing for me with those latest 
versions. So there we seem to have a regression. Please help us by filing a 
bug to track this.

I am not aware of a setting, the code I have seen does set the tab icon 
unconditionally.
