Details:
Editing text files on remote file systems using the system editor (vim), not
the built in one, does not work as expected.
The buffer with a temporary file is opened and changed, but not written to
target leaving with ":wq" . This is tested on my ubuntu box for ftp and
fish.
to get the effect do the following steps:
if not already done prepare mc not to use built in editor.
On an sshd running system establish a conection with:
1. cd #sh:localhost:
2. browse to an known file and open editor by pressing <F4>
3. do some edit
4. save an leave (use ":wq" on vim)
Editor is quitting without error.
now the file should be changed
refresh window by <ctrl+r>
use <F3> to prove ==> file is _not_ changed an no error was given.
This behavior was also confirmed by other users on german ubuntu list. For
example here:

"can reproduce on breezy"
And a different Editor (nvi) set on /etc/alternatives/vi set on my box
