    I used my mouse to click on a random letter that I wanted to changed,
    pressed a key on my keyboard and observed the letter change. I pressed
    "Save" in the top menu bar. I closed the program.

    The file "foo.txt" had now changed.

    Conclusion: Yes, it's probably something on your side that is breaking things.

    Thank you for verifying. So I was "using" it correctly, and I accomplished the same task using hexedit. Unless someone can think of some esoteric configuration that's wrong on my machine, I'll file a bug with KDE.

    When I do an install I always have to add
    set nocompatible
    set backspace=indent,eol,start
    set mouse=r

    to .vimrc to get some sort of familiar text editing keystrokes.
    Maybe is something like that.
