this is weird.
First of all, Geany doesn't do anything special to remote files (yet).
It just opens the file for writing and this means the file is first
truncated and then data will be written.

I think your problem is more in GVFS or in FUSE especially because you
say it happens only on some servers.
Could you please give some details on used versions of GVFS, Geany, and
your operating system?

Also, it would be interesting what other non-GVFS enabled applications
do like Scite or Leafpad.

Regards,
Enrico
