[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Problem with file saving linked to the use of Unicode characters in file content? (#2758)

[MaximeG-51]

Hi,
I have a problem with Geany 1.37.1 (on Windows 10 Pro 64 bits). I have a file that I can open but trying to save it gets me an error message:
"Error saving file. Error renaming temporary file: Permission denied
The file on disk may now be truncated!"

This occurs after years of using Geany seamlessly. Can this be related to the fact that I have tried to input Unicode characters like "É" just before (unsuccessfully, by the way...), which I think I had never done before? The "Alt-144" method I use in other Windows applications did not work, so I tried the Ctrl-Shift-u method described in the Geany Help, to no success. The file name does not contain any accented character (not even those that are directly on my French keyboard like é,à... that have never caused me any trouble in Geany).
At each attempt of file saving, I get a new file named .goutputstream-XXXXXX instead, with the content of the file I am trying to save.
Saving "file.txt" is not possible but saving as a new version like "file_v2.txt" works. However, after opening again "file_v2.txt", trying to save it fails again (only works if I save it as "file_v3.txt" and so on).
Creating, saving, reopening... new files works as expected. Opening, editing and saving the file in another editor works, but reopening it with Geany leads to the same problem.

Yours,
Maxime
