Bug Description

Binary package hint: gvfs

Am using Ubuntu 10.10 i386, with gvfs 1.6.4-0ubuntu1.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Mount remote system using SSH (Places -> Connect to Server)
2. Open any file from newly mounted system
3. Edit file and save it

What happens: File is truncated (0 size)
What should happen: New content should be saved to existing file

If I try to open that same file again (without remounting), it looks as new content was saved properly. This is probably due to some sort of local cache. File on remote system is truncated, while from my perspective everything looks fine.

I tested this on another system, same thing happened. Both systems are fresh Maverick installs.
