Description
Steps to reproduce:
1. Choose Add vector layer option
2. Load attached csv file
3. When file is loaded as a layer, choose Open Attribute Table
4. Choose Toggle editing mode
5. Choose Save Edits
The error is thrown: "OGR error syncing to disk: Cannot rename files"
It seems to be problem only on Windows (tested on two devices with Windows 10). On Mac everything seems to be working.

Please update to 2.18.14 (the new LTR release) and try again. Thanks!

Unfortunately, the issue still exists in 2.18.14. When I change any attribute in the _ Attribute Table_ and click Save Edits I get this error. The same issue is also when I try to add a new feature to the layer. I can only remove features from layer without errors from OGR.
I'm not sure this is helpful but when I opened Log Messages Panel OGR reports:
Unbalanced call to leaveUpdateMode() w.r.t. enterUpdateMode()

Thanks for a response. Did you try to reproduce it on a Window's machine ? This is strange that you can't reproduce it, as we are getting the same error on four different machines with Windows OS (2xWindows 10, 1xWindows 7 and 1xWindows Server). Be aware that the error is thrown when you change any attribute in Attribute table and then try to SAVE changes.

this means adding/deleting/editing a column or changing its content?

It means changing a content in any column.

Confirmed here with 2.18.4 AND master on Windows10.
As said: on Linux it is not a problem, it just works.
Seems an OGR - Windows problem (when opening with as txt delimited file, editing is not possible)

correct, it is problem on Windows. If the CSV is added as vector is editable but on save the reported error is thrown. To add insult to injury if the table covers the message bar the user don't see the error and when toggling editing the unsaved values are sticking in the table giving the sensation that edits went well...
Confirmed also on master.

Please check if this issue is still valid on QGIS 3.4.5 or 3.6.
