Package: vim
Version: 2:7.4.488-7
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
if an encrypted file is opened using an incorrect password, the display does
not reflect
the encrypted content, but replacing or deleting what is shown will result in
the original
content being lost.

Yes, this is documented -- ":help encryption" and search for "WARNING".
The fact that it wasn't decrypted properly should be clear to the person
who saved the file (and most likely even to other people). Exit Vim and
re-open the file to enter the correct passphrase.
Cheers,
