That's to be expected.  Why?  Because you're using the wrong filename! 
The correct path/filename should be /etc/apt/sources.list not
/etc/apt/sources.lst.  When you started Kate with the filename
/etc/apt/sources.lst you told it the wrong filename so Kate thought you
were creating a new file because it did not find an exact match for the
filename you had specified.  Another thing to watch out for is
capitalization.  To Linux THISfile, Thisfile and thisfile would all be
seen as separate files because of the use, or absence of capital letters
in the filename.
