Description
Description of the Issue
I use a windows feature to access NFS shares:
Opening a file with from the share without write permissions for the group "other"
Means I cant edit it in N++, but I can edit without issues in Windows Notepad
If I change the permission
Then it works, which is what I have been using the workaround this issue for now
Steps to Reproduce the Issue
Included in screenshots above
Expected Behavior
File to be editable without changing permissions
Actual Behavior
File is not editable unless write permission is added for the group "Other"
