Public bug reported: Since upgrading to 15.04 I cannot edit files accessed over ftp. The file appears to open but I end up with a blank file. This worked fine on earlier releases.
There are a number of reports of this on the Internet. As documented elsewhere I can get round the problem by editing file /usr/share/applications/org.kde.kate.desktop and removing %U from the "Exec=" line. Don't know whether this has any negative impacts.
