Description Grósz Dániel 2019-12-20 22:41:43 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a file in KWrite.
2. Modify it, without saving.
3. Delete the file on the disk.
4. Switch back to KWrite. It warns you that the file was deleted by another program, with the options "Close File", "Save As" and "Ignore".
5. Click "Close File".
6. In the dialog "Do you want to save your changes or discard them?", click "Cancel".

OBSERVED RESULT
The same "Do you want to save your changes or discard them?" dialog pops up again, and you have to click Cancel a second time. Then it doesn't happen again.

EXPECTED RESULT
It gets the message the first time.

Still an issue on git master kwrite.
Comment 3 Cagdas ALAGOZ 2025-07-29 18:44:07 UTC 
I can't reproduce this on KDE Neon with kwrite 25.11.70. It's an old bug so it might be fixed alongside something else. If no one can reproduce this I believe we can close this as WFM.

Comment 5 Grósz Dániel 2025-07-29 19:26:41 UTC 
I can't reproduce it either. It may have been fixed when KWrite was rewritten to use Kate's codebase.
