Blink Version 17.0.1.840
iPadOS Versions 17.0 (21A329)
Describe the bug
When using a separate text editor app to edit remote files through Blink’s Files.App integration, files are not shortened on edits that reduce their length.
For example, a plaintext file containing “abcd”, if opened in a text editor app through Blink’s file integration and shortened to “cd”, would appear on the server as “cdcd”. These extra remaining characters are not visible on the local version of the file or in the text editor. Expected behavior is that the remote file would match the local version.
I tested this with files hosted on a unix server setup in Blink with ssh keys into a non-root account, with Files.App integration into its home directory. I’ve reproduced this using the text editor apps Runestone, Subtext, and QuickText.
