vi emulation :vs / :sp fail on read-only files

[b]

This is an old issue, I just finally got around to reporting it.

SlickEdit Pro 2015 (v20.0.1.3 64-bit)
Build Date: December 20, 2015
Emulation: Vim

OS: Linux
OS Version: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
Kernel Level: 3.19.0-47-generic
Build Version: #53~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 18 16:09:14 UTC 2016
Processor Architecture: x86_64

If I have a readonly file open and wish to visually (or horizontally) split the window so that I can look at different parts of the same file at the same time, I get an error pop up "This command is not allowed in Read Only mode."  Yet, if I go to the menu Windows->Split Vertically (or Horizontally) it does what is expected.   I would expect :vs and :sp in the vi emulation to work the same as from the menu.

We will look into this

This will be fixed in the next full build. Not date set for the next full build.

Thanks Clark!
