When I try to use webkit-patch to create a new bug and attach a patch to it, I'm asked to enter the title of the new bug then next get a blank vim screen, well 'blank' in that it's the splash vim screen instructing how you to get started with using vim. I try entering text in it fine. But :x and :w tell me that I can't save my changes. Presumably this screen should be displaying the changelogs to me so I can update them.
So this is what my attempt looks like. In the case below, I tried :e newfile, bit of editing and then :x. No changelog was included in the uploaded patch. robert@mwenge:~/Development/WebKit$ WebKitTools/Scripts/webkit-patch upload --git-commit=HEAD Running check-webkit-style Total errors found: 0 in 1 files Please enter a bug number or a title for a new bug: [Qt] Use backspace for eventSender.keyDown("delete") bugs.webkit.org login: robert@webkit.org bugs.webkit.org password for robert@webkit.org: Logging in as robert@webkit.org...

I guess it should be opening up the changelogs for editing but is not.
