Description Dovydas 2008-11-24 17:56:09 UTC

Version:           2.1 (using KDE 4.1.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I am trying to save scrollback output. 
I click on "Scrollback" - > "Save Output..." and click on any existing file and - OUCH! - the original file gets immediately overwritten!

I expect the clicked file name to appear in the filename field so I could edit the filename. I don't expect it to be immediately overwritten.

I have lost an important file! It happens regardless of which global mouse mode is enabled: single-click or double-click.

Here using:

Qt: 4.4.3 + qt-copy-patches-889120
KDE: 4.1.86 (KDE 4.1.86 (KDE 4.2 >= 20081221))
kdelibs svn rev. 902031 / kdebase svn rev. 902032
on ArchLinux x86_64 - Kernel 2.6.27.10

I can confirm this bug. The file dialog doesn't ask for overwriting the file.

The file gets overwriting when clicking it in the file list (I have "single click" setting), or when selecting it (right click to only select the file) and then pressing "OK" 

(that should be a bug in kfile file dialog, but I haven't seen anything like this before..). Adding kdelibs to CC

Hi Dario,

I'm marking this as normal rather than grave because it will only affect a relatively small number of users in exceptional cases - I usually reserve 'grave' and 'critical' for things which affect a large number of users on a regular basis.

This seems to be fixed (since r902755 commit)
