            Bug ID: 500708
           Summary: Kate Flatpak Cannot Save Files under
                    `~/.config/fontconfig/`
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kate
           Version: 24.12.2
          Platform: Flatpak
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: application
          Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: yun...@proton.me
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Kate Flatpak cannot save existing files or create new files under
`~/.config/fontconfig/`. However, Kate Flatpak can save/create files under home
and `~/.config`. KWrite (RPM local package) can save/create files in
`~/.config/fontconfig/` without error.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the specific file `flatpak run org.kde.kate
~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf`
2. Modify it.
3. Try to save the file.

OBSERVED RESULT
Kate fails to save the file with the following error message:
The document could not be saved, as it was not possible to write to
/home/myusername/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf.
Check that you have write access to this file or that enough disk space is
available.
The original file may be lost or damaged. Don't quit the application until the
file is successfully written.

EXPECTED RESULT
Successfully save the file.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.11.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I did not modify Kate Flatpak permission, and it has all system files access by
default.
