Package: kate Version: 4:3.5.7.dfsg.1-1 Severity: important
Kate does not store unsaved work, so if the network connection (or kate) crashes you will lose all your unsaved work. I encontered this problem when running kate remotely, over X; the network went down briefly and everything that I did evaporated. Now, I'm sure someone will tell me "save your work", but many modern text editors like vim and Word (and a few others I might mention) save state to allow recovery from a crash. I assumed that kate also did so. This is an important bug because an unbiassed observer (i.e. someone who hadn't just lost two hours of work) told me "Well, cross *that* editor off your list." Thus, it is a severe enough problem to render kate unusable -- at least in competition with other editors. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages kate depends on: ii kdelibs4c2a 4:3.5.7.dfsg.1-7 core libraries and binaries for al ii libacl1 2.2.45-1 Access control list shared library ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.19-3 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libattr1 1:2.4.39-1 Extended attribute shared library ii libaudio2 1.9-3 Network Audio System - shared libr ii libc6 2.6.1-1+b1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfontconfig1 2.4.2-1.2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.5-1+b1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgamin0 [libfam0] 0.1.9-2 Client library for the gamin file ii libgcc1 1:4.2.2-3 GCC support library ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libidn11 1.1-1 GNU libidn library, implementation ii libjpeg62 6b-14 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpng12-0 1.2.15~beta5-3 PNG library - runtime ii libqt3-mt 3:3.3.7-9 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-1+b1 X11 Session Management library ii libstdc++6 4.2.2-3 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.9-1 X cursor management library ii libxext6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxft2 2.1.12-2 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxi6 2:1.1.3-1 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.2-1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxrandr2 2:1.2.2-1 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-3 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-6 compression library - runtime Versions of packages kate recommends: ii kregexpeditor 4:3.5.7-3 graphical regular expression edito -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
