REVISION SUMMARY f62768d04652 in qtbase.git introduced a behavior change in QUrl causing it to reject URLs with a path of "//foo" (note the double slash) as invalid. Both KNewFileMenu and KIO::mkpath contained code following this pattern: url.path() + '/' + name This is a bad mix with forwarding slaves like kio_desktop, which translate a top-level path of / to some other URL: (desktop:)/ + / + foo = //foo This patch addresses the two instances of this by wrapping the string building in QDir::cleanPath, which I think is the shortest and most readable way to go. https://phabricator.kde.org/R241:2353119aae8f03565bc7779ed1d597d266f5afda in kio.git (https://phabricator.kde.org/D8836) was another commit fixing fallout from this Qt change. Is unlikely this patch will be the last one. I suspect many other variations of this problem lurk about the codebase.
