BUG ? cannot "cancel" read only file dialog

[AnneRanch]

If by accident I change read only file - I cannot "cancel" the dialog.
I get stuck in an endless loop...

The only way to recover is to reload QtCreator.
Is there a remedy ?

If "automatic save " is enabled - it can be cancelled.
( Why is IDE even try to save "read only" file ? )

@AnneRanch What exact dialog do you mean? On which OS. Which QtCreator version?
On Windows 10, QtCreator 4.7.0 if I modify a read-only file and safe it QtCreator asks me whether I want to make it writeable.

Yes, same in Linux - but it does not make the file writeable and ask again "to save it " .

In my opinion that is another issue. If the original is fixed it won't be an issue anyway.

@AnneRanch It works for me on Linux with QtCreator 4.12.3
