Description Shriramana Sharma 2009-02-19 07:51:48 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Steps to reproduce:

Open KWrite (or some KDE application that can save files like Kate or Okteta).
Type something.
Press Ctrl+S or goto File menu and select Save or Save As.

You get the Save As dialog box.
Type /tmp/moo (assuming it does not exist) -- you want to create a new file.
Press Enter.

Current Behaviour:

The file is not directly saved to that path and filename (though it is valid). Instead the dialog box is taken to display the corresponding directory (/tmp in this case).

Expected Behaviour:

The file should be directly saved with that path and filename.

Other comments:

If I type the path of an existing file, the proper overwrite confirmation dialog is shown. Only when I type path of non-existing file this bug appears.

If I type a bad filename (but the path exists) in the Open File dialog, I am taken to the appropriate directory which is meaningful, since I may have done some typo in the filename. However, the same should not happen with Save File dialog since I am going to create new file.
