StyledEdit doesn't save a file successfully on Haiku

[korli]

StyledEdit on Haiku doesn't save with success a file: launch "StyledEdit ~/config/settings/kernel/drivers/kernel" make some changes and save. launch again : no changes saved.

As it happens only on Haiku, it could be related to storage kit or kernel side.

Works well, instead, with a file created with StyledEdit itself.

Maybe add status check on calls of status_t StyledEditWindow::Save(BMessage *message) as it must return silently an error somehow. Then something could be wrong in storage kit, who knows ...

[korli]

Another weird testcase: cp config/settings/kernel/drivers/kernel ./ head kernel StyledEdit kernel => modifies a comment at the top of the file then quits with saving head kernel

The file is empty, though filesize isn't zero. Then "StyledEdit kernel" shows bad data.

Can be a problem with SYNC ?

I can't reproduce. Maybe your image/partition is corrupt ?

I tried again with ​http://www.schmidp.com/public/haiku/images/rev16260_raw.tar. bz2 in QEmu and it actually failed often but not everytime. Could be a cache or fs problem after all.

[jackburton]

Reassigning, as it's most probably a kernel/FS problem

Can someone still reproduce this one with a release after 16557?

Fixed in hrev16613. vm_cache_resize() didn't always work correctly.

Tested ok, thanks!
