Build Identifier: M8 The Navigator allows me to create a file with a name similar to the name of a file that already exists within the same folder in the Navigator. As a result, the contents of the already existing file is overwritten by the contents of newly created file which is EMPTY. End Result: The contents of the older file is lost. Ideally, I would expect such generic checks to go into the file client services. I am marking the bug as critical since it results in the loss of data (file contents). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a file eg. file1.java under some folder in the Navigator and add some contents to it. 2. Create another file with the same name within the same folder. 3. The original file is overwritten.

We should do something pragmatic here for RC3. Data loss bugs are worthy.
This was actually a client bug. Now fixed: http://git.eclipse.org/c/e4/org.eclipse.orion.client.git/commit/?id=314057d58314bb10af8db6df3ec8a593fc53a5b7
