I have found a bug in MicroGoldEd

[AmigaMance]

I'm using version "8 SP 4" which i believe that it's the latest one. Here's how to reproduce the bug:
- Create a new file in any directory with the name test, by typing in a CLI window "ed ram:testing" (without the quotes) or whatever. Write something random, save the file and then quit
- Now try to create a new file in the same directory by typing "ed ram:testing2".
Instead of a new file, the editor will load the previous file "testing".
 This is definitely a bug..

I would like to see if other people can reproduce it first..

I'm using version "8 SP 10", but it shows the same error.

 So it's not only me. Ok.

Furthermore the "ed" seem not to detach itself properly from the starting shell process.

 I can't reproduce this one. I don't see the process with the Status command after quitting, if this is what you mean. Perhaps a new bug of the newer version you are using? I haven't try this version yet. Thanks for the feedback.

1. Typing "ed RAM:Test", typing something, saving and closing MicroGoldED. But: I won't get my shell back

 No, i can't reproduce it either, but yes, it may be relevant with the problem.
 Ok guys. I have notified the author about this thread.

Interesting - AmigaMance: which os version do you use? i suppose os3.5 or os3.9? so there seems to be a difference in behaviour between MorphOS/OS3.x and OS4.1 (the shell thingie). OS4.x is often known to behave ... erm ... not the same way ;-) - but maybe this might be a hint to the underlying error, as os4.x is sometimes more strictly in task and stack related issues...

 What you reported doesn't occur with AmigaOS 3.x, MOS 1.4.5 tested myself and MOS 2.2 according to Amile. So, i think you are right. This behaviour has to be OS4 specific.

Hey, everyone.
I want to thank Dietmar for replying to my PM. This isn't a bug. It's a filename typo correction feature. It can be disabled from the menu Extras -> Customize. Un-tick "Correct file names" and save.
