Public bug reported:
To reproduce:
1. Have an SSH server you have access to. It could even be localhost.
2. Open "Files" (Nautilus), hit Ctrl+L to get the URL bar, and type in
"ssh://your.server", and hit enter.
3. Authenticate to the server if necessary. It should now be mounted.
4. Create a new text file with Nautilus on the server.
5. Open that file in GVim. If GVim is not your default editor you need
to right-click and choose it in "Open With Other Application".
6. Add some content to the file.
7. Try to save the file.
Expected Behavior:
The file should save successfully.
Observed behavior:
The file is not saved. Instead, GVim reports an error:
"/run/user/1000/gvfs/host=your.server/path/to/your/file.txt: E212: Can't
open file for writing"
If I navigate to that local mount directory in Bash, the file is there,
with writable permissions, and I can edit it with e.g. nano. I also have
no trouble wditing it with gedit.
Trying to edit it with CLI "vim" produces the same E212 error.
This problem started fro me with Ubuntu 18.04 and Vim 8. If I build Vim
7 from source, I don't have the problem.
