[Bug 1262311] [NEW] kjots "loses" my information although the book has data

Wed Dec 18 18:30:52 UTC 2013

Public bug reported:

I have been attempting to use KJots for a few years.  Each time I try
it, I'll use it for a while, and things will look good.  Books are
correct (in Kolab and Locally), pages are correct, information is
correct (with an occasional render bug).

Every so often (it's probably happened 3 or 4 times in the last few years), the data disappears.
I look in the .book file and the data is all there.  KJots just refuses to show it.  
I am not certain, but it's possible this is happening at a KDE/Ubuntu upgrade.  I use it sporadically.

All I know is that the XML is there, and KJots ignores it.

One such .book file starts out like this:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<!DOCTYPE KJots>
<KJots>
 <KJotsBook>
  <Title>tool1</Title>
  <ID>34</ID>
  <Open>1</Open>
  <KJotsPage>
   <Title>project stuff</Title>
   <ID>33</ID>
   <Text><![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/strict.dtd">
<html><head><meta name="qrichtext" content="1" /><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /><style type="text/css">
p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }
</style></head><body style=" font-family:'Ubuntu'; font-size:7pt; font-weight:400; font-style:normal;">
<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"></p></body></html>]]></Text>
  </KJotsPage>
...
</KJots>

The XML looks valid.  What gives?  Is there some internal caching that
goes on?  I currently can create new books and pages, but the old
information doesn't show up.
