Bug ID: 362288 Summary: Kate treats remote filesystems as locally mounted Product: kate Version: 3.13.2 Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based) OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: grave Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: adr.fant...@gmail.com When a file in a local file system is modified, Kate creates backup files. This is fine. When this happens for a remote filesystem (e.g. sftp), it does not do so, because it would hugely slow down the saving if the network is slow or if the ping is bad. However, for many applications, remote filesystems can be mounted locally (e.g. with SSHFS, NFS or similar). Kate will NOT recognize this, and treat the files as locally mounted. This sometimes causes endless, minutes long delays (not even being able to move the cursor) even when just entering a single character and is short makes Kate completely unusable. This is not a rare occurrence, but an extremely annoying bug which means Kate cannot be used in business environments with networked user data. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Mount a remote filesystem locally, usa a slow network 2. Edit a file with Kate 3. Experience the slowness Actual Results: Kate freezes while trying to write the backup file Expected Results: Kate should recognize, by looking at mount, fstab or mtab, that the current filesystem is remote, and act accordingly -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
