Description:
I am unable to edit files that do not have a file extension. These files are marked as "Read" in the status bar and cannot be modified.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open a file without an extension.
2. Observe that it is marked as "Read" in the status bar.
3. Attempting to edit the file fails.

This issue is consistent and reproducible.

Expected Behavior:
Files without extensions should be editable like any other plain text file.

Actual Behavior:
The editor treats these files as read-only, preventing any modifications.

System Information:

• Editor Version: 9.9.2
• Operating System: Windows 11 Home (25H2)
• Architecture: x64
• User Account Type: Administrator
• File Location: Local disk (not networked or synced)
• File Encoding: UTF-16 (BOM)
• File Size: ~1 MiB

Additional Notes:

• The issue is repeatable across multiple machines.
• No error messages are displayed.
• Files with extensions (e.g., `.txt`, `.md`) work as expected.

I hope this information helps you reproduce and resolve the issue. Please let me know if you need any further details.

I cannot reproduce this. Please check with Windows File Manager that the files don't have the Read-only attribute set.

Note that you can edit files with the Read-only attribute set by unchecking that option on the Configure menu, or double-clicking "Read" on the status bar. When you save them, the Save As dialog box will be displayed, but they can be saved with the same name, and the read-only attribute will be cleared.

Thanks, I was not aware the feature double-clicking "Read" on the status bar.
