[Bug 708829] Re: Text truncated when I save a txt file during a sftp session over nautilus
For what this is worth... I'm running a fully-updated Lubuntu system (18.04.3 LTS) and I'm still seeing this problem with leafpad and smb shares. Leafpad shows version "Leafpad 0.8.18.1" on the help/about screen. It appears that there was a fix released in Debian 6 months ago, but either it didn't make it down to the lubuntu repositories, or it didn't get fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/708829 Title: Text truncated when I save a txt file during a sftp session over nautilus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/leafpad/+bug/708829/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

For reference, I think, the following reports highlight the root cause(s): #680418 - gvfs-fuse: Wrongly sucessful posix fwrite call on a gvfs sftp mount can lead to data loss https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=680418 1295007 – Non-GIO (POSIX) API call to save data truncates file to 0 bytes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1295007 However, it seems that Leafpad is one of only a few applications where the bug triggers.

[Bug 708829] Re: Text truncated when I save a txt file during a sftp session over nautilus
I'm not sure if it's the same issue as originally reported, but I confirm the behaviour Surendra has reported. It happens on SFTP/SSH connections as well as SMB, and seems to only occur on text files less than 4096 bytes. Yes this is a dangerous bug - I was just lucky to notice before losing important notes. If you reverse lines 232 & 233 in src/file.c so that it becomes: fclose(fp); gtk_text_buffer_set_modified(buffer, FALSE); and recompile it seems to fix the bug - the files save correctly. There must be some issue between GVFS and gtk_text_buffer_set_modified where the buffer is lost. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/708829 Title: Text truncated when I save a txt file during a sftp session over nautilus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/leafpad/+bug/708829/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 708829] Re: Text truncated when I save a txt file during a sftp session over nautilus
I confirm this bug is still present till today [May, 2016]. I edited a *.txt file in leafpad over sftp in nautilus. After I saved the file in leafpad and exited, the file size became 0 bytes. It erased entire file contents upon saving! I am very disappointed, since I do not have the backup of the file. I also think 'importance' of this bug should be set to "HIGH".

[Bug 708829] Re: Text truncated when I save a txt file during a sftp session over nautilus
It may be also a gvfs issue, but this affects data integrity and therefore it's a hot one. It's easy to loose files with this. I think importance of this bug should be set to high. There must be a way to fix it in leafpad, not gvfs, as it doesn't appear when editing the same text files in gedit, nor in abiword. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/708829 Title: Text truncated when I save a txt file during a sftp session over nautilus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/leafpad/+bug/708829/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same bug under debian with leafpad 0.8.18.1-3 : in a sftp directory mounted with nautilus, after editing and saving a text file with leafpad, my text file get truncated (at exactly 4096 bytes ...).

[Bug 708829] Re: Text truncated when I save a txt file during a sftp session over nautilus
After a few tries, I think I can say the bug is not related to leafpad per se, but to gvfs and fuse : I checked the length returned by the fwrite() in the save function of leafpad (file_save_real in file.c) and it returns a value 4096 bytes. But the file on the gvfs is only 4096 byte long. Searching for gvfs truncate issues returns lot of results : seems gvfs is not fully compatible with POSIX api (like the basic and standard fwrite function used by leafpad or emacs) but should be used with gio api (probably used by gedit). There's probably already a bug filled for this, so hopefully a futur release of gvfs will fix this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/708829 Title: Text truncated when I save a txt file during a sftp session over nautilus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/leafpad/+bug/708829/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
