In earlier version i could start mceedit without any parameter, write text and choose file name to save content. In 4.8.2 mceedit started without file name displays window with message (pwd is /tmp): Error "/tmp" is not a regular file Reproducible: Always

Thanks for taking it upstream. But... There is another problem with mcedit. Please look at this: $ mkdir testtest $ stat testtest File: `testtest/' Size: 4096 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 directory Device: fd04h/64772d Inode: 75 Links: 2 Access: (0700/drwx------) Uid: ( 1000/ marcin) Gid: ( 1000/ marcin) Access: 2012-03-22 17:27:48.815833915 +0100 Modify: 2012-03-22 17:27:48.815833915 +0100 Change: 2012-03-22 17:27:48.815833915 +0100 Birth: - $ mceedit <write something> <F2-> enter file name->testtest> "A file already exists with this name" -> choose "Overwrite" "File has hard-links.

I hope description how to reproduce error is understable, it's hard to paste ncurses window;)
And most important thing: "testtest" is directory, there shouldn't be any question about removing hardlinks. Hmm, should it be new bug at b.g.o?
