[ido-mode] C-x C-w C-f writes empty file

[Martin Lüthi]

Symptoms:

I have activated ido-mode with the following expressions in .emacs:

(require 'ido)
(ido-mode t)

When I try to save a file under a different name (C-x C-w:
ido-write-file), I cannot change the file name.  To edit the file name
I press C-f (classic mode), edit the file name and then save the file
under the new name [RET].  A new file is created with that name, but
it is empty. The buffer which should now visit the newly created file
still visits the old file.

Besides this bug, it is a little bit annoying that the bindings C-b
and C-f are redefined in the ido-minibuffer to mean "buffer list" and
"classic mode". I am used to use these commands to move the cursor.

Thanks for the most fantastic editor in this universe!
