By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Jan Stolarek 2020-06-09 11:50:02 CDT 
KGet has a long-standing and extremely annoying bug which causes it to delete downloaded data. Let's say I'm downloading a file called "foo". Temporary downloaded data is stored in a file called "foo.part" and upon completion "foo.part" is renamed to "foo". Consider a situation where "foo" existed when the transfer started but is no longer present when the transfer is finished.  (This does not imply that "foo" existed when transfer was added - if that was the case KGet would prompt to overwrite a file). In this situation at the end of transfer, instead of renaming "foo.part" to (now non-existent) "foo", KGet will report a permissions error and delete "foo.part", losing all downloaded data. Happened to me dozens of times but today I had to re-download 12GB because of this.
