Leafpad wipes content of text files on smb when saving

( 3.19.3-3-ARCH x86_64 +  Mate desktop )

Here is the problem:
Today I used leafpad (0.8.18.1-4) to put some short text on another computer on LAN (smb shares) on existing text file.
I saved text and exit. But when that text is opened again (with leafpad or any text editor), there is no text at all! Leafpad wiped it out on saving.
Editing text files on my own computer works ok.

Then I installed mousepad, and it (mousepad) works ok with creating or editing text files over LAN computers.

I also have Arch Linux + xfce on virtualbox, last updated 10/2014, so I checked if it have something with update.
Leafpad there worked (regarding network shared text files) ok.
When I updated that system today - leafpad starts to misbehave just like on my (real) computer.

I'm now using mousepad, but I'm curious what is going on.

If this is reproducible, you maybe should open a bug report.
