gui modeler: complete crash of gui when .gxm file modified in vi while modeler is active

[mlennert]

• Open GUI modeler
• Save the model (even just an empty model) to model file
• Open model file in vi[1], and save the model file (no need to change anything)

I tried with gedit and nano and cannot reproduce. I don't know what vi does differently.

=> crash of the entire GUI

Replying to mlennert:

• Open GUI modeler
• Save the model (even just an empty model) to model file
• Open model file in vi[1], and save the model file (no need to change anything)

I tried with gedit and nano and cannot reproduce. I don't know what vi does differently.

Perhaps a newline issue at file end:

Guessing: the read function used to read the model file might react differently.

The wc and cat commands can give you some idea what is in the file. diff, colordiff or meld can be helpful to compare the files.
