jedit alters user and group of file

Question

Hi there,

I'm running jedit as root, to alter several system files in /etc, some of these files have different owners then root.

When I edit such a file, and save them, jedit set user to root and group to root.

Is there a option to set, that jedit keeps the file permissions?

Thank you Alex.

From reading the user guide you could maybe try turning off two-stage save to see if this fixes the problem.
