Package: vim
Version: 2:7.3.333-1
Severity: important

Hi,
when I open a textfile with vim and set or change the encryption with :X and 
leave vim then with :x without doing any other changes, the encryption is not
applied to this file. When I change something and leave with :x or leave with
:wq without changes, the encryption is applied. 

I don't think this is the expected behavior.
I marked this bug as "important" because it could be a security issue if a 
user assumes, that his file is encrypted without rechecking that.

Greetings,
Michael
