** Description changed:

  Editing text files on remote file systems using the system editor (vim),
  not the built in one, does not work as expected.
  
  The buffer with a temporary file is opened and changed, but not written
  to target leaving with ":wq" . This is tested on my box for ftp and
  fish.
  
  to get the effect do the following steps:
  
  if not already done prepare mc not to use built in editor.
  On an sshd running system establish a conection with:
  
  1. cd #sh:localhost:
  2. browse to an known file and open editor by pressing <F4>
  3. do some edit
  4. save an leave (use ":wq" on vim)
  
- Editor is quitting without error.
+ Editor is quitting without error - now the file should be changed
  
- now the file should be changed
+ 5. refresh window (ctrl+r)
  
  use <F3> to prove ==> file is _not_ changed an no error was given.
