Bug Description
Since upgrading to 15.04 I cannot edit files accessed over ftp. The file appears to open but I end up with a blank file. This worked fine on earlier releases.
There are a number of reports of this on the Internet. As documented elsewhere I can get round the problem by editing file
/usr/share/
and removing %U from the "Exec=" line.
Don't know whether this has any negative impacts.

After starting Dolphin and logging-in to an FTP server using Kwallet, I tried editing a remote file with Kate, like I've been doing for many years now, Kate asked to migrate the kwallet to a newer version. That seemed to go smoothly, but whenever a remote file is loaded it is displayed empty. I've tried restarting, using another FTP server, etc. Nothing helped. Is there something I need to set up first to make it work or something? There are no errors or warnings. I'm using Arch Linux x64.
Kate version: 5.0.0
Also, what I noticed is that when opening a remote file, temporary file in /tmp is created like "katepartTJ3018 .php" and alongside "katepartTJ3018 .php.part" . The .part file has all the needed contents in it, however the non .part file stays empty.
Saving an opened remote file works file and file gets uploaded.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Dolphin
2. Navigate to FTP server
3. Open file
Actual Results:
Files is opened empty
Expected Results:
File opened with actual file content
Tmmporary file in /tmp is created like "katepartTJ3018 .php" and alongside "katepartTJ3018 .php.part" . The .part file has all the needed contents in it, however the non .part file stays empty.
