           Summary: symlinks confuse error reporter
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-devel at kdevelop.org
        ReportedBy: eisfuchs at tigress.com


Version:           3.0 alpha4 (using KDE KDE 3.1.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          gcc 3.3 
OS:          Linux

Test case:

I have a project that lives in:

/home/eisfuchs/Development/cvs/konversation/

where "eisfuchs" is a symlink to

/attic/backup/home/eisfuchs

When I double click on a class in the class browser, everything is fine. Now change something that produces an error and recompile. The error reporter tells you where to look. Click on the error line and you will see, that another window opens, with the same class file in it, but the "resolved" symlink part. Try to "Compile this File" now. gideon will tell you that this file is not in your project's folder. Additionally you now have two different views of the same file. This can lead to confusion and unintentional reverting of changes made in the other window.

It seems that only the error reporter is suffering from this bug.
