mcedit: unable to save changes in "Safe save" mode

Reported by: onlyjob Owned by: slavazanko

Description

If mcedit is configured to use "Safe save" I'm unable to save changes to existing file.

Same problem is for editor_option_save_mode=2 (backup mode)

Saving to new file works.

This appears to be a regression from 4.8.1

I can confirm the same issue, but with the latest Stable build (4.8.1.3). I compiled this on Debian Squeeze using the following build options: ./configure --enable-vfs-undelfs --without-samba --with-x --with-screen=slang

The only option that works is "Quick save", both "Safe save" and "Do backups with following extensions" fail to save. This doesn't happen with version 4.8.1.1, which works fine.

In addition to above, may I point to this post in Debian Bugs that refers to this problem: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=673252#24

"strace shows that mc tries to create a temporary file with the initial /
missing from the filename. When trying to safe save /var/tmp/new-file:"

Replying to slavazanko:

Review please.


I tried the change and it seems to be working well.

Thanks for fixing this - I believe this was quite an important bug.

Well done.

Cheers,
Dmitry.
