** 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 - now the file should be changed 5. refresh window (ctrl+r) use <F3> to prove ==> file is _not_ changed an no error was given.
