Description realnobody 2013-12-26 22:44:20 UTC 
"save as" of a file with a name containing a " (double quote) character saves under truncated name

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. have a file test"ooo"bar.txt (see test case file)
2. open in kwrite (4.12.0 and KDE base same version)
3. file → save as → ok
Actual Results:  
saved into a new file named ooo.

Expected Results:  
file gets  saved under the old file name (as shown in the dialog window)

Same happens for saving in the KDE program okular (when a file name is asked for).
A simple "save" works as expected.

Impact: could lead to data loss if it is not noticed that the desired and old name was not used for the saved (possibly altered) data.

Maybe it is related to bug 185433 (see comment 7 there), but that bug is about opening multiple files.
Comment 3 realnobody 2013-12-26 22:49:21 UTC 
forget this useless attachment (no file name)
Comment 4 realnobody 2013-12-26 23:05:40 UTC 
same happens for kwrite/KDE 4.11.4 (also ArchLinux)
