Public bug reported:
This is a consistent issue that occurs in my Ubuntu 12.10. The steps to
reproduce the issue are:
- launch kdiff3,
- go to the menu Settings > Configure kdiff3...,
- change something, e.g. uncheck Directory > Backup files (.orig),
- click the OK button,
- go to the menu Settings > Configure kdiff3...,
- check the changes made -> OK, still there,
- quit kdiff3,
- launch kdiff3,
- go to the menu Settings > Configure kdiff3...,
- check the changes made -> KO, vanished, were not saved to file (e.g.
Directory > Backup files (.orig) is still checked).
After these steps, the contents of ~/.kde/share/config/kdiff3rc (access
rights: 0600) are unchanged.
However, if this file is edited to apply manually the desired settings,
and if kdiff3 is then launched, the new settings are taken into account.
Hence, this is really a settings saving issue.
