[Bf-committers] Render export file visibility problem on Windows 10 - with a potential lead towards solution

[Sergey Sharybin]

Hi,

There is nothing special we do for file creation, just using POSIX API for
that.

With this info we can do nothing unfortunately, we have to be able to
reproduce the issue in order to investigate it.

What you can also do is to compare file attributes (security access flags,
etc) of files saved by 2.61 and 2.78a and see if there's any difference.
