Dear Bug Team!
System: XEmacs 21.4.13 Rational FORTRAN on Windows 95
Conditions: Assume variables backup-by-copying and version-control are
both the standard value nil.
According to the manual expected behavior of backup-by-renaming is
that XEmacs should rename the original file so that it becomes a
backup file, and then write the buffer being saved into a new file.
As I understand it if I am editing a file, say <test.txt>, by executing
save-buffer on the first draft I should get a file on disk called
<test.txt>. If I kill the buffer, revisit the file <test.txt>, edit,
and save-buffer I expect to have two files on disk; one named
<test.txt~> and the other <test.txt> which contain the first and
second drafts respectively. Furthermore, it I think it is reasonable
to expect that the contents of the file <test.txt> be identical to the
contents of my buffer which is also called <test.txt>.
What actually occurs after the second save is that there is only one
file on disk named <test.txt~> which contains the second draft and
contents of the current buffer which is named <test.txt>. To be clear,
there is no file <test.txt> on disk although my buffer is still named
<test.txt> and saving the buffer shows a message in the echo area
tells me it is saving the file to <test.txt>.
