Sentry Crash Report:

Description Unknown 2011-12-18 18:50:42 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

If a file is in read-only mode and you search&replace a word that is present in the file, kate feedbacks as if the words were successfully replaced. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Go in read only mode in a file, search&replace for a word present in the file, 


Expected Results:  
Kate should instead warn somewhere that the file is in read-only mode and that it cannot replace strings.

Thanks for the report.

The change is not written to file until the user explicitly saves the document and at moment (s)he will be notified, but it would be nice to get a warning before that.... Unfortunately I don't think we can add it to KDE 4.8 as that would add a new translated string. But it is definitely on my TODO for 4.9
