Bug Description

Hi!

I tried to such commands:

antalar@antalar:~/programming$ touch compile
antalar@antalar:~/programming$ kate compile

But after opening "compile file" kate doesn't show any symbols I printed.
Then, if I would print some text there (blindly, of course), save it and then read it, I could see, that actually Kate is working (for example, I've printed "test" in kate window):

antalar@antalar:~/programming/TheorChromo/win32$ cat compile
testantalar@antalar:~/programming/TheorChromo/win32$

But when I'll try to open this file in kate again, there would be no text again.

Kubuntu 8.10, kde 4.1

This would create a new, empty file called "compile". It would be normal for nothing to be in that file.

Oh, nevermind. I see what you mean.
When I open "compile" then try to type stuff. The text is invisible.
Then, when I close and reopen it, the file is empty even though cat says the file contains "test".
Very weird.

Transitioning to affect the Intrepid package since this is an issue in Intrepid also.

I'm sorry, but I didn't understand, what did you mean.

I've reported this bug to http://bugs.kde.org :

But I do not understand how can I add it's URL to this bug watch.

Same problem here.

The KDE bug was marked as a duplicate of this one:

Somebody helpfully mentioned that this bug only applies to files with one line.
