#654 Problem with handling read-only files in TEditView and TRichEditView

[Ognyan Chernokozhev]

When a read-only file is opened in TEditView or TRichEditView, it can be edited, as the class does not have concept of read-only files (unlike TCoolEdit). When attempting to save the edit file, it shows error message "Unable to open the document" and then the application crashes with an unhandled exception.

See also [bugs:#646].

Note: this looks like a regression in the trunk. The same test works fine in 6.44 and 7.0.

This issue should be fixed by the generalized fix for "Problems with handling of read-only files in TCoolEdit" [bugs:#646] implemented in [r8945]. Now when trying to save over a read-only file, instead the SaveAs functionality is invoked.

@jogybl, you need to use your superpower as an administrator and move this ticket to bugs. :-)
