Description Alec Moskvin 2009-09-13 00:09:55 UTC 
Version:           0.9.1 (using 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1), Gentoo)
Compiler:          i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.31

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a PDF file on your hard drive with Okular.
2. Select File > Save as...
3. Select the file that is opened
4. Click OK to overwrite.

Result:
- The open document disappears, resulting in a gray box.
- The document becomes either an empty file or contains a few bytes

This is really bad because I needed to fill out a document with forms, and once I did, I wanted to save it. Instead, it destroyed it.
