problem editing remote files via ftp

LOVE WinSCP! FTP is a great addition.

WinSCP 4b Build 342, FTP protocol, Norton interface. When editing remote text file on ftp server, the temp file returned to the server did not contain lines inserted at top of file. For example, inserting 2 new lines of text at the top of the file never made it back to the file on the server. Instead, the uploaded file would contain duplicates of the last 2 lines. Internal and eternal editor produced same result. Not a problem with sftp editing. Return ftp upload appears to use an APPE command while Filezilla appears to use STOR when doing same function.

Hello,

same thing here.
Examples:
A text-file on the server, content:
1
2
3
4
5
Edit the file in the internal or (any) external editor, make the following changes:
x1
2
3
4
5
After saving the result on the server will be
1
2
3
4
5
4
5
If you append something to the file, e.g.
1
2
3
4
5
x
y
the result will be
1
2
3
4
54
5
x
y
