Bug: Symbolic links don't work as expected

Post by po9794 »

Hello,

Suppose I create a file:

/home/me/Documents/myDoc.docx

Then I create a symbolic link onto my Desktop:

ln -s /home/me/Documents/myDoc.docx /home/me/Desktop/myDocLink.docx

If I open myDocLink, TextMaker opens the document. So far so good. If I edit the document and save, it turns out that my symbolic link on my desktop is turned into a real file with the updated content. And the document myDoc.docx (originally pointed to by the symlink) isn't updated with the last changes.

Is there a workaround? Is this bug going to be fixed?
