Package: quanta
Version: 1:3.3.2-6
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

The justification for grave bug is more accurately described as "causes
data loss, and is only recoverable from backup medium".  reportbug didn't offer
an accurate classification.

Aftermath: (some files ommited for brevity)

Prior to this incident, I assume the files were 0644.  My backups do not
have this data. =`( - oh well.

Actually, I've attempted to reproduce this issue, and it's
reproduceable.

I recreated dummy content in another similar directory, use'd cp -s
templates/* . from .. to create symlinks.

Opened the symlinks only in Quanta via
sftp://example.com/var/www/hosts/www.example.com/private/

Quanta opens them after successive instances of sftp (kio-slave?)
transfers files.  None of the three files render any text content in
each of the tabs w/in Quanta.

-rw-r--r--  1 supaplex supaplex 418 Jul 16 14:56 test.htt

The file that's apparently spared is the last file Quanta opened (again,
no text content displays for editing)

After quitting Quanta, the last file is overwritten (no confirmation
dialogs suggest data is to be saved).

Good luck, and Thanks =)
