i just dis a small over a file on my desktop :

~/Desktop/sudo_textmate%> ls -al
-rw-rw-rw-    1 news  admin   122 Nov  3 11:01 essai-sudo-config

i open it with TextMate, add "Hello world !" inside and save it.

TextMate didn't ask in authetification and the file has now those  
user:group :

~/Desktop/sudo_textmate%> ls -al
-rw-rw-rw-    1 yvon  yvon   140 Nov  3 18:16 essai-sudo-config

(yvon being my login name)

this should be considered as a bug afaik ?

TextMate would have either not open the file or ask for  
authentification ...

I'm usinf TextMate Version 1.5.4 (1324).

also for mate it is, in my opinion, about the same because on my box  
mate leaves in :

~/Desktop/sudo_textmate%> which mate
/opt/local/bin/mate


where all the bins are aware of which root|user opened a file...


best,

Yvon

HOWEVER other people don't have this experience with TextMate, they  
have veryfied TextMate doesn't change file owber and asks for  
authentification.

then the prob comes from my machine...

i'm wiping out TextMate and related to get a fresh install...
