[platform-ui-dev] File modification validator is not notified on save from OLE

Hello,

It appears that no methods on IFileModificationValidator are called in case of a save by an editor
opened using OLE in the Eclipse shell (MS Word in particular). While I understand that it is not
reasonable to expect a notification from an external editor the interesting thing is that the
platform is likely aware of a save operation being started because it can be initiated by pressing a
button on the Eclipse's main toolbar. Is it a known problem or limitation? Another negative
side-effect is that read-only flag is cleared upon save, at least in the case of editing a doc file
with MS Word, which happens when it is opened inside Eclipse. When opened stand-alone MS-Word
doesn't allow writing to read-only files.

Thanks for any input,
Vladimir.
