Kate enables read-only mode automatically and does not tell the user

[xor]

Binary package hint: kate

When opening a file which contains iso8559-1 special characters (in my case German umlauts) kate will set the file to read-only mode: If you re-select "Auto detect encoding" from the Tools/Encoding menu, it will display an alert box which says that there were invalid UTF-8 characters in the file and it has been set to read-only therefore. This alert box was NOT shown when the file was first opened, IMHO it should be shown because the file IS set to read-only then.

Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. While we appreciate your issue, it would be better if it was tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that the KDE developers can deal with this speedily and have direct communication with you as the reporter for more effective debugging.

Thanks!
