Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE    
Severity: normal    
Priority: NOR

Platform: Kubuntu   
OS: Linux

Description Ｖ字龍(Vdragon) 2013-07-23 05:38:28 UTC 
The actual environment I'm using
file ownership : root:hadoop # You are in hadoop group, you're NOT in root group
file permission : rw-rw-r--
file holding directory ownership : root:root
file holding directory permission : rwxr-xr-x

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a file that is similar to the above "Details"
2. Modify it
3. Try to save the modifications
Actual Results:  
Shows a popup window : 
"The document could not be saved, as it was not possible to write to <file path>.

Check that you have write access to this file or that enough disk space is available."

Expected Results:  
Saves normally as there's no permission issue.

Vim editor saves successfully.  I doubt that Kate check's the permission beforehand using somewhat buggy mechanism instead of directly try to save the file.

Now this is strange, as it should be fixed in KDE SC 4.10.3 according to bug #312415.
