Bug ID: 488642 Summary: The file modified on disk banner vanishes when the user cancels saving the file Classification: Applications Product: kate Version: unspecified Platform: Neon OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: spikespie...@gmx.de Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY If a file is modified on disk while the user is editing it, Kate provides a helpful banner with common actions to resolve this issue, including reloading options and viewing a diff. If the user attempts to Save or Save As and then cancels on the warning dialog for a file modified on disk, this banner vanishes and will not reappear even if the file changes on disk again. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. (assuming no directory test exists) mkdir test; cd test; touch test1; kate test1 2. echo 1 >> test 1 3. A banner pops up in kate, informing the user that the file was modified on disk. 4. File > Save As, choose test2 as the new name. 5. A warning dialog appears. Press cancel. OBSERVED RESULT The dialog closes, and the banner is gone. If the file is modified again, the banner will not reappear until the file is successfully saved. EXPECTED RESULT After the dialog closes, the banner should remain, as the issue is not addressed in any way yet. If the user chooses a non-permanent solution (i.e. not Auto-reload), the banner should reappear if the file is modified on disk again. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS This happens on both Kubuntu 24.04 with Kate 23.08.05 and current Neon Developer with Kate 24.07.70. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
