Bug Description

Binary package hint: kile

During autosave, the text area of the current file steals focus from both search/replace area and konsole. This can easily lead to text strings that should not go into the document to end up there undetected. My thesis have been close to seeing this kind of corruption several times when I'm using the konsole for writing a svn commit message. While in the middle of writing something, focus suddenly jumps to the text area and I continue to write there (overwriting if something is selected). If something else had required my attention at any of these times I would have continued writing the commit message where it stopped without noticing that I had changed the document.

This bug has been fixed upstream in revision 1130621:
http://websvn.kde.org/?revision=1130621&view=revision

Since this can cause corruption in important documents (thesis, etc.) I hope it can be considered for a SRU for Lucid once it has been fixed in Maverick.
