Package: vim
Version: 2:7.3.333-1
Severity: important
Hi,
when I open a textfile with vim and set or change the encryption with :X and
leave vim then with :x without doing any other changes, the encryption is not
applied to this file. When I change something and leave with :x or leave with
:wq without changes, the encryption is applied.
I don't think this is the expected behavior.
I marked this bug as "important" because it could be a security issue if a
user assumes, that his file is encrypted without rechecking that.
Greetings,
Michael

It's exactly the expected behavior. It's even documented in :help :X
The typed key is stored in the 'key' option, which is used to encrypt
the file when it is written. The file will remain unchanged until you
write it. See also |-x|.
All :X does is prime the 'key' option, so that when you do write out the
file, it will be encrypted as requested.
