Description Mike Krutov 2019-11-04 12:19:44 UTC
SUMMARY
I'm unsure how to "improperly" close a file, if someone who sees the bug knows it - please do tell.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Get Kate to complain about the fact that file wasn't closed properly
2. Click on "show differences" button 
3. See the error that files are identical

I've tried playing around a little bit to reproduce it, but as I can't find a way to improperly close a file, I can't reproduce it - so wording of error messages might be off

OBSERVED RESULT


EXPECTED RESULT


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.2

Forgot two things, 

OBSERVED RESULT
Error that files are identical

EXPECTED RESULT

If files are identical, kate should not display the popup at all, as in this case, popup is completely meaningless

I've just tried and I cannot reproduce this issue.

Can you please test and confirm if this issue is still occurring or if this bug report can be marked as resolved. I'm setting status to "needsinfo" pending your response, please change back to "reported" or "resolved" when you respond, thanks.
