Having your text editor corrupt the file it's working on sounds like the absolute worst case scenario.

Is this fuzzy finder thing some third-party plugin? Do you have any idea why it corrupts the files that you point it at?

It's a third party plugin, it's definitely a Neovim issue because the file corruption doesn't happen with Vim. No idea why it happens. I'm fine living with it because I just check the file back out if it corrupts it. It's only an issue when opening a new file so it doesn't cause work to be lost.

A github issue about it https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/issues/206
