MacVim silently fails to save a file when a conversion error is present #671
Description
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a text file that yields a
CONVERSION ERRORwhen saved in Vim (e.g. when trying to save it with:w). - Try to close the corresponding MacVim window (e.g. by clicking on the red wine gum).
- When the dialogue appears, that asks if you want to save the file, confirm.
Expected behavior: I get some alert that the file did not actually save and why.
Actual behavior: The dialogue, that asks if you want to save the file, disappears and the window simply does not close.

Do you have an example of such a file or information about how we could create one from scratch?

@dschuessler I reproduced the issue in terminal Vim and filled the issue to the upstream. Please, follow up there.
