Package:           konqueror
Version:           KDE 3.0.0 
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Not Specified
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

Repro sequence:

1. Opened Konqueror.
2. Entered following URL: sftp://foo.bar/home/jason
3. Pressed enter remote directly listing displayed in Konqueror.
4. Right clicked on a remote file (Foo.java) selected 'Open With >' then 'Other...'.
6. 'Other...' dialog box opened selected 'Vi Improved'.
7. File was transferred to local temp storage then opened in ViM.
8. Made some edits to the file then saved those changes.
9. At time of saving file changes were not uploaded to the remote sftp server (which is the expected behavior).
10. Exited from ViM.
11. Dialog box appeared saying 'The file .... do you want to upload the changes'

The problem is that the remote version of the file is only updated when the application is exited. The user expectation is that the changes should be sent to the remote server as the changes are written out to the local copy.

The reason for this user expectation (that changes to remote files should be uploaded each time the file is saved) is that this is how KDE VFS-aware applications (like Kate Kedit) behave. This may be a limitation of the VFS infrastructure for non VFS-aware applications but I'm not sure.
