--- Comment #1 from John Kizer <john.ki...@proton.me> ---
Hi - thanks for your bug report! I can reproduce this on KDE Neon, although
with the caveat that at step 3, I'm presented with a privilege escalation
dialog since root privileges would be needed to save the original file. After
authenticating, the actual root-owned file remained unchanged and the symlink
was replaced by a copy of the original file, with the changes included.
As a note though, the following bug report may be related to this one, and this
issue may be an unavoidable consequence of other issues that need handled when
opening a symlink: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=369094
However, this other report also appears to be a directly related situation,
although it is from several years ago and was fixed at the time:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354405
Thanks!
