Comment 5 for bug 708829

After a few tries, I think I can say the bug is not related to leafpad per se, but to gvfs and fuse :

I checked the length returned by the "fwrite()" in the save function of leafpad (file_save_real in file.c) and it returns a value > 4096 bytes. But the file on the gvfs is only 4096 byte long.

Searching for "gvfs truncate" issues returns lot of results : seems gvfs is not fully compatible with POSIX api (like the basic and standard fwrite function used by leafpad or emacs) but should be used with gio api (probably used by gedit).

There's probably already a bug filled for this, so hopefully a futur release of gvfs will fix this.
