Using kmail2 version 5.21.3

SUMMARY
***
I auto-generate my email signature file on login (see lines above) so its up to 
date.
I went to the configure signature stab and the "Specify File" box has my file 
name there correctly.  I pressed "Edit File"  and it loaded "kate" and my file 
quite happily. 
I then closed "kate" without editing the file in any way and the file is
deleted 
from my file system.
I get the same result of a deleted file even if i edit the file and save it in
the "kate Edit File" session
***

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Select Identity in Accounts/Identities box
2.  Click <Modify> 
3.  Select Signature tab
4.  Click <Edit File> next to signature file to edit my signature file (3 lines
long)
5.  Either edit file and save in Kate or just exit without any actions.
6. The signature file should still exist after exit from kate

OBSERVED RESULT
Signature file deleted after exiting kate even if saved within kate

EXPECTED RESULT
Signature file should still exist with any modifications made after exiting
kate
