Text editor save functionality broken

[prismopensource]

Steps to reproduce

As described in this forum topic: https://forum.owncloud.org/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=30052&p=95075#p95075

1. Download OC 8.1.1
2. Do the one click sqlite install.
3. Create a new empty text file, for example New text file.txt
4. Open this New text file.txt
5. Add some text with the Text Editor.
6. Click the Save button

Expected behaviour

After hitting the save button you'd expect the * after the filename to go away and have the file saved.

Actual behaviour

I can click the save button, and it temporarily changes to a saving button but nothing gets saved; the * always stays. If I click the home button and open the text file again, changes aren't present.

The Owncloud log doesn't log anything about this, JS console in Chrome gave me:

Bug is still present in 8.2.1 .htaccess file with workaround posted above was overwritten.

@quassum So there is nothing in the owncloud.log and you are still seeing the JS console errors? From the snippet you posted it does seem like this is a request being blocked by your web server and not actually reaching ownCloud.

The problem was in php <5.6 and was fixed in 8.1.3 and should be in 8.2 with https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/18691

Please could you retest with 8.2.1 and check what errors you are receiving and see if they are the same as the original problem.

@tomneedham Still the same with 8.2.1 with PHP upgraded to 5.6.16. Nothing in owncloud.log, only the JSON parse errors. Please let me know if I need to do more testing.

Bug is still present in 8.2.2 unfortunately.

9.1.0 still needs this addition to the .htaccess file to make it work.
