Bug 1781

Summary: Edit 0.8 / 0.81 bugs: no warning on overwrite ...
Product: Edit Reporter: fritz mueller <fritz.mueller@mail.com>
Component: coreAssignee: edit@freedos.org <edit@freedos.org>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED    
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2    
Version: 0.81   
Hardware: PC   
OS: FreeDOS   

Description:   Opened: 2004-04-26 10:41
Freedos 0.8 tested with kernel 2034, latest himem and keyb gr.

a) the signs steered by ALTGR and a number (e.g. {[]}\@) do no longer work
   (worked with 0.7a)
b) When creating a NEW file and save them with "save" there is no message
   "file already exists. Do you really want to overwrite it?" if a file with
   the same name already exists.
c) When storing a file on a write protected diskette there is no error 
   message "Disk is write protected". The diskette works and it looks as if
   it would store the file (of course it doesnt). (worked on 0.7a).
d) In addition to c): I used no lbacache or something like this. Nevertheless
   the file to c) seems to be stored when you type dir. REALLY. TEST IT. YOU
   EVEN CAN OPEN IT!!!
   After some trials the not existing file suddenly disappears. I dont know
   why this is so. 
e) If the file is bigger than the place on the diskette there is no error 
message:    "File too big". The text is written on the diskette - but only the 
part which fits on the diskette (I dont know why, but there stay 2048 bytes 
free on the diskette). (At 0.7a there was a error message - but the "half 
file" was not deleted.
f) It happened one time till now: When opening a file with in about 1000 byte 
the    text was changed: looked like the first 512 byte of text came BEHIND 
the other 488 byte. Confused me a little bit. I dont know if this was a 
problem of saving or opening the file.

Thank you for solving these problems soon.

0.7a and 0.8 are independent releases,
and merging them is quite difficult, sorry.

point the author of EDIT 0.8 to this bugreport.

Edit 0.81 fixes some of these bugs, specifically, (A), (C), (D), and (E).

Actually, the write protection was implemented in Edit 0.8, but...

Bugs fixed...except for (F) - I can't reproduce this one.  (C) might be an 
issue with the Kernel.  I'm still waiting for additional testing.

(A) -- Fixed in 0.81
(B) -- Fixed in 0.82
(C) -- Fixed in 0.8  (Tested again in 0.82 -- still works)
(D) -- See above
(E) -- Fixed in 0.82
