Description 0BADC0DE 2021-11-24 08:48:48 UTC
SUMMARY
***
When creating a new TEXT file two characters are appended: a blank (0x20) and a carriage return (0x0A).
It should be empty.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start dolphin
2. From context menu select "Create new" --> "Text file"
3. Confirm a file name (default is "Text File.txt")

OBSERVED RESULT
The new file is shown in the window to be 2 bytes long.
$ od -t x1 -c Text\ File.txt 
0000000  20  0a
             \n
0000002

EXPECTED RESULT
The new file should be 0 (zero) bytes long as the user hasn't requested any content.

A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/merge_requests/866
Comment 4 Alain Laporte 2022-06-13 22:32:42 UTC
Issue is probably in KIO. I have proposed a merge request to fix that => https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/merge_requests/866. But I'm not sure if it's really good (see comment in the merge request).
