Can't save hidden file in windows

[Tyarel8]

Summary

I can't save a hidden file when editing it in helix. If I go to the file explorer and unhide the file, it works correctly. I have also tried doing sudo hx .stignore using the gsudo program but that gave the same error.

Reproduction Steps

I tried this:

1. hx .stignore (.stignore is a hidden file)
2. :w in helix

I expected this to happen:
The file to be saved.

Instead, this happened:
Access is denied. (os error 5)

Are you able to use another editor to write that file? Have you also tried running in an administrator mode instead (which would point to gsudo as the issue)?

I can edit the file with vscode and notepad without issue, and I have tried using helix in a administrator console with both cmd and pwsh with the same issue.

I have now tried editing the file with neovim and that worked, but it unhidded the file.

Just tried in helix 24.3 (2cadec0b) and it works fine, so case closed, thanks for the help 👍.
