K3B on 'Simulate' wrote to the disk

[shimonl]

Hi,
I was preparing data to burn on a DVD and ran a 'trial-run' in
K3b, with the Simulate box checked ('ticked').
After the 'simulation' succeeded, I added some more data,
and tried it again. I was shocked when K3b told me it needs
a blank medium for simulation - as far as I knew there was already
a blank disk in the drive! But when I checked, I found that K3b had
'destroyed' my dvd disk - by WRITING the partial data it was
supposed to simulate.

I have used this option many times, but this is the first time
under FullMonty. Could that be connected to the problem?

The most likely explanation is that the 'simulate' box got unticked without your noticing.

I guess the only way to check is to wait until you have something else to burn, and instead of burning try simulate again -- double checking that the box is ticked before you proceed.

If you can repeat the fault then it is a bug ......  and as you need the disk burned you won't waste a disk.
