Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

When I save a file extra characters are added to the end of the file. This happened with PHP en CSS files.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a new php project containing a wordpress install
2. create a style.css file
3. add inside:

/*
Theme Name:     Child
Theme URI:      http: //site.com/
Description:    Child theme for the Twenty Ten theme 
Author:         Site
Author URI:     http: //site.com
Template:       twentyten
Version:        0.1.0
*/

4. save the file

5 reopen it, it now contains:

/*
Theme Name:     Child
Theme URI:      http: //site.com/
Description:    Child theme for the Twenty Ten theme 
Author:         Site
Author URI:     http: //site.com
Template:       twentyten
Version:        0.1.0
*/

:        0.1.0
*/


That project is on a server in a samba share (gvfs) in ubuntu marverick. This was not happening in 10.04 and happens since I upgraded to 10.10 RC. This also happened in the past with older ubuntu release.

It also sometimes happens that after saving a file, it is totally blank. (this occures on a project witch reside on another server and that I access through SFTP)

is it a pdt bug?

I only use the PDT version so I can't say for others. It has happened in the past on older Ubuntu versions and appeared again since 10.10

This is a really annoying bug that makes Eclipse unusable on latest Ubuntu release when working in a collaborative network environment.

Please solve it!

I had some similar problems with Eclipse when working using FTP network attached as drive, the problem was external in connector and it's cache. After all I switched to samba and this cured all problems with files. 

Is this problem present on lcoal filesystem?

According to comments, this problem seems to happen only for networked filesystem and it wasn't reported by users who work on local FS.
As sad as bug sounds, it can't still be marked as blocker for over 2 years, when there were only few users reporting this and no one noticed this bug in a regular setup.

This happened to me sometimes, and I never used a remote filesystem.
