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.
Hello, did anyone see this big bug?! Sorry for the ping, but wanted to draw attention to what I feel is a non-trivial loss of functionality.
I've also noticed that. This bug needs attention... add some votes.
Also, I'm using v4.2.2
Confirmed on Debian with KDE 4.2.2 Any attempt to enter a filename to save by its absolute path (e.g. /tmp/file.txt) will just change the view to /tmp and clear the location (losing the file.txt entirely, requiring it to be typed in again!). Strangely, entering a relative path works just fine. Regards, Roger
