https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196447 --- Comment #5 from Xin LI <delphij@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to lichray from comment #4) Well, depends on how we define it. I think the editor should not "eat" file contents :) Yes, I think the editor should ask the user and reject edits if it's not possible to write the whole file, it's much better than writing partial file. BTW. I discovered that typing <tab> in command mode does not give me the <tab> character, while older version of vi do (so one can say :1,$ s/^/<tab>/g to add a tab character in front of all lines). Is this related to locale settings? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
