Title:
Buffer content is lost when opening file over network that doesn't
exsist
Status in vim package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Binary package hint: vim
I'm using VIM 7.1.138 (netrw v109) on Ubuntu 8.04.
The fastest way to see this bug happening seems to be this:
1) Start vim, type :e ftp://[email protected]//path/to/existing/file
2) Enter the password - file content appears in the buffer.
3) Type :w
4) Type :sp ftp://[email protected]//path/to/NOT/existing/file
What happens after this is:
1) 2 new buffers are opened: the first one says '/path/to/NOT/existing/file:
No such file or directory', and the second is the buffer for that file. You can
edit that buffer and save it, so a new file is created on the server.
2) The old buffer which had the contents of
ftp://[email protected]//path/to/existing/file is empty.
I expect that the second consequence above is a bug. If I was in a
middle of editing in one buffer and opened another which would create
a new file, all my work on the first one is lost - it's impossible to
undo any changes, it says 'Already at oldest change', and the old
buffer is cleared and not saved on the server.
