I have similar experience even with mcedit without VFS - data loss when
disk quota is exceeded, the edited file is truncated to zero size. I had
these problems with mc-4.5.51 so I'm not sure if it's still a problem
with recent mc.

Re: Issues to fix before 4.6.1?

Hi !

There's a small annoying bug in mc: If you 'ssh' to a box, and then 'su',
the Xauthority token is not valid anymore, and instead of ignoring the X11
connection problem, mc exits and displays the following error message:

X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
X connection to X:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

(see also http://bugs.debian.org/301174)

Is there an easy fix for this bug, or unsetting $DISPLAY is the only solution ?

Cheers,

PS: You can also find a trivial fix, for a .jar vfs problem,
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=299932, but I don't know if
the next mc will be affected since we added a patch to uzip...

i've had this just yesterday ... good luck it was no important file.
this happens with the quick save mode ... it must, given the way it
works. not sure it can be fixed properly at all without just switching
to another mode. oh, well, it could be fixed to not lose data, but the
resulting file would be a bit inconsistent.
