Please confirm: io-slave issue with kate editor
When I open a file over an io-slave like fish, using kate or kwrite, the file
is downloaded to a temporary local file and then opened.
The expected behavior is that kate opens the file remotely, not using a local
copy at all. This behaviour is what people using other distros (slackware,
gentoo) are seeing, but it is not what happens with my unstable installation.
This is a rather annoying issue, since any local copy will be deleted by
default after use, causing kate to be rather confused when the file has
suddenly gone missing. Also it prevents kate from updating the remote file
when you press save (because it will think you are working on a local file),
which makes using an io-slave remote connection rather pointless.
