           Summary: Choosing mail signature from a file deletes the
                    selected file causing data loss
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.9.2
          Platform: Archlinux Packages

SUMMARY
Data loss / file deletion when attempting to set a signature from pre-existing
file for (default?) identity.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Settings > Configure KMail
2. Accounts > Identities > Modify...
3. Edit Identity > Signatures > Enable signature is ticked
4. Obtain from: File
5. Select a file.
6. Now here I can't remember whether I hit OK, Cancel or Edit file

OBSERVED RESULT
Data loss, the file is deleted.

Some output from terminal:
QFSFileEngine::open: No file name specified
org.kde.pim.kidentitymanagement: Failed to open "" : "No file name specified"
command= "kwrite %U" args= ("kwrite %U", "file:///home/chris/sigs/CallMeLess")
EXEC  "/usr/bin/kwrite /home/chris/sigs/CallMeLess"
EXEC done

about to delete "/home/chris/sigs" containing "CallMeLess"




EXPECTED RESULT
File is not deleted. File gets added to the bottom of new messages using that
identity.
