Description Luigi Baldoni 2018-03-18 15:26:26 UTC 
Using k3b 17.12.2.
Whenever I use a not-empty medium, k3b asks confirmation to overwrite, but it always does that twice.

Cannot confirm on Arch Linux, K3b 18.04.

k3b 18.04.1 on openSUSE Leap 42.3 still asks twice.

Does the problem occur when you try to record which type of project?

Yes, I can confirm with k3b 18.12.2 on Arch Linux.
The problem does not occur here when I try to burn a data project.

Unfornately k3b seems unmaintained currently.
None bug fix in months. :(

I can reproduce this bug when I try to burn an ISO image to a non-empty DVD+RW disc.
The bug does not occur when I use a non-empty cd-rw instead.

K3b 19.12.1
Operating System: Arch Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.90
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.66.0
Qt Version: 5.14.1

Steps to reproduce:
1. insert a non-empty rewritable DVD (I tested with a DVD+RW)
2. click on "Tools" menu > "Burn image..."
3. select your image to burn and click on "Start" button:
K3b shows this message: "Found DVD+RW medium in <your optical device>. Should it be overwritten?"
4. click on "Overwrite" button

Result: K3b shows the same "Found DVD+RW medium in <your optical device>. Should it be overwritten?" message again.
