Bug Description
I am using Kubuntu 9.04, and just upgraded the packages for KDE 4.3. I don't know if this is a problem because of the upgrade or not. Version info:
kate:
Installed: 4:4.3.0-
Candidate: 4:4.3.0-
Version table:
*** 4:4.3.0-
500 http://
100 /var/lib/
4:
500 http://
My typical way of working on source code editing is to open Dolphin, then using the fish protocol to view source files on a remote computer and then select the files and open them in Kate, and then edit them. A typical Dolphin url would be:
fish://
Opening and editing files works good. However after a few successful saves, Kate will then throw up a dialog box proclaiming:
Connection to host remotehostname is broken.
At this point, the source file on the remote host is now 0 bytes long. The connection to the remote host using SSH seems fine, as I'm logged onto the host using Konsole to compile and put the program into production, and I can still move around with dolphin and even open up more source files in kate, but if I try to do any more saves, the error message pops up and the source file on the remote host is truncated.

Fish:// was broken upstream. If / When Kubuntu developers make a new build, it should be fixed. Hope it's soon. In the meantime, you can use sftp:// instead. I don't like it as well since it seems to have more latency, but it does work.
