using GNOME to edit smb document over gvfs mount works fine which is the recommended desktop way, the issue is with fstab command line mounts there

Good, so power users should know how to use an another editor or workaround the issue

Right, that's why GNOME can mount smb shares in an easy way and editing txt using gedit works just fine there, the issue is when you use command line to mount samba mounts in a system specific way

the comment is not very useful when you comment on a distribution bug tracker and not to the software writer and the issue is a lack of manpower one
