Description:
The latest version of leafpad (0.8.18) produces corrupted files when saving.
This is due to a small typo in the code. Upstream is informed, I hope it gets fixed ASAP.

The fix is as simple as:

- if (fwrite(str, 1, wbytes, fp) != wbytes) {
+ if (fwrite(cstr, 1, wbytes, fp) != wbytes) {

I added a full "diff -u" created patch file.

Additional info:
* leafpad 0.8.18-1 from extra
* cstr.patch for fix


Steps to reproduce:

Open leafpad, write something, save to file, view it with "cat" or another editor → corrupted
   cstr.patch (0.5 KiB)
This task depends upon

Should be "Category: Upstream Bugs". Is there no damn "edit" button around?

our package should be fixed in 0.8.18-2. i would let it open couple of days to avoid duplicate bugs
