Follow-up Comment #9, bug #45422 (project octave):
Ok, thanks for the reminder, I forgot about that feature of the edit function.
This is not the GUI but rather the edit function making a copy of read-only
files by default. If you open a file in the editor tab using the toolbar
buttons, you shouldn't see this feature.
This may already be reported as a request to change edit's default behavior,
it may have made sense to someone at one time but maybe not anymore. If I can
find another bug report I'll close this one as a duplicate.
To get edit to edit all files in place whether they are writeable by you or
not, run the following at the prompt:
octave:1> edit home .
octave:2> edit editinplace true
I think this will make edit more Matlab-compatible and should probably be the
default settings going forward. And you should now see an error message saying
that the file can't be saved.
