File owner being reset on Linux
Submitted by gp on Friday, 28 November, 2008 - 00:42
I can't get jEdit to preserve the file owner on Linux when saving a buffer. The owner is always reset to my_user:my_group, while the file is initially owned by my_user:www_group. So now everytime I save a buffer in jEdit I have to do a chown, otherwise Apache won't be able to read the file.

Disabling or enabling the "two-stage save" feature doesn't seem to make any difference.

I use 4.3pre16, but I had the problem even before upgrading. I don't even know where to start troubleshooting this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately I can't help You. But disabling two-stage-save must not change the file owner. So, this were a serious bug, that You should file at jEdit's bug tracker (not at the forum "Bug Reports"). Please mention Your system's environment like OS, Java version and vendor..)

There is already an open bug , that could be the same. If so, please use this.

Thanks, Robert.

It does look like it's the same bug that you have pointed out. I have added a comment to the bug tracker.
