Public bug reported: I can always reproduce the bug, on any samba share, even on shares that reside on the same machine:
In Nautilus I right-click on a folder and chose "file sharing options" to make it a writable share. Then, again in Nautilus, I navigate to "network" and mount the share by clicking on it and supplying username and password. I created a new file on the share "sample.txt" with the following content: 01 sample line of text 02 sample line of text 03 sample line of text 04 sample line of text 05 sample line of text 06 sample line of text 07 sample line of text 08 sample line of text 09 sample line of text 10 sample line of text Then I removed the lines 02 up to 05 from the file and hit save. Editor shows: 01 sample line of text 06 sample line of text 07 sample line of text 08 sample line of text 09 sample line of text 10 sample line of text When I reopen the file the new content is: 01 sample line of text 06 sample line of text 07 sample line of text 08 sample line of text 09 sample line of text 10 sample line of text 07 sample line of text 08 sample line of text 09 sample line of text 10 sample line of text I tried several editors, several servers providing SAMBA shares (Ubuntu Hardy, Windows Vista, and my Maverick notebook) The result is always the same. A very, very nasty bug.
