I used to open my files.txt.gz
files (or txt.xz
) files directly with nvim.
But it does not work any more for some months. Both compiled from source, or from Debian package.
What could be the cause ?

I found out the problem seems like a bug related to access rights since it's only when the file is in read only for the user.
For instance, a sudo chmod a+w myfile.txt.gz
fixes the issue.
The issue is also present when using view
or vim -R
to open the compressed file.
