Public bug reported:
I cannot edit files on a Windows share that is smb-mounted by Ubuntu
using VI, VIM or GVIM.
Other applications on Ubuntu do not have this problem, including GEDIT
and LibreOffice
Bizarrely I can create a file with VI, VIM and GVIM, but saving changes in any
subsequent edit session fails with:
E212: Cannot open file for writing
I attach a screenshot of the problem showing the error when I am in the mounted
directory:
