Bug#45409: Failure to write to disk (without telling user)

Package: kate Version: KDE 3.0.2 Severity: normal Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: Not Specified OS: Linux OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified When using the aspell spelling checking (from within Kate), and when it changes one or more words, Kate does not set the modified flag on the file, and continues to not set it even after more modifications are made, therefore the file is not written to the disk when the user selects 'Save'. However, no error message or any indication of this is given. The user thinks that the file is being saved but it is not. This caused me to lose several hours of work before I released that it was not on the disk at all! The solution would be to add one line of code that says that the file has been modified, just after aspell does its thing.
