Description Szokovacs Robert 2014-06-02 08:06:32 UTC 
I drag a file from konqueror to the desktop, and it asks me "move/copy/link here" I answer link. It becomes a standard unix symbolic link. In the properties window for this link, I can edit the "Points to" property, when I change it, I get an error message stating "A file named /home/szo/Desktop/xxxx already exists."

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open properties
2. Edit the "Points to" property
3. Click OK
Actual Results:  
Error message

Expected Results:  
The link's target should change.

The same issue on openSUSE 13.1, KDE 4.11.5. I already had some screenshots for the issue, so here they are:

With openSUSE Tumbleweed and Plasma 5.11.5 the faulty behavior is no longer reproducible. I think this bug can be closed.
