Remote-to-Local File Overwrites not Overwriting Correctly

FZ Forum Post: ​http://forum.filezilla-project.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5313

Here's the scenario:

1. File TEST.ASP has 1 paragraph of text in it.
2. TEST.ASP is uploaded from LOCAL to a REMOTE Windows-based FTP server
3. TEST.ASP is edited to now have 5 paragraphs of text in it, and it is uploaded to the REMOTE, overwriting.
4. TEST.ASP is changed remotely down to 1 paragraph (either via the right-click View/Edit functionality or otherwise).

Up to this point, things work fine.

5. The Remote TEST.ASP is then transferred from REMOTE to LOCAL, and "Overwrite" is chosen.

Keep in mind that the REMOTE is only one paragraph, and the local is 5. This is where things get strange.

The resulting LOCAL file is 5 paragraphs long, but with the content of the 1 paragraph file overwriting from the beginning of the file, like so:

Etiam dapibus, pede eu viverra rutrum, sapien purus varius nibh, at convallis lorem quam ut orci.

So, it would appear to me that files transferred from REMOTE to LOCAL and overwritten are not being deleted and/or "cleared out" before the overwrite happens.

My transfer setting is "Auto", and I've reproduced this on two different Windows FTP servers. I'm currently using FileZIlla 3.0.4.1.

Are you using any virus scanners?

What happens if you uninstall it? (Only safe way to fully disable them)
