Public bug reported:
What I'm seeing:
With autosave and backup checked:
Autosave overwrites the original file. With this enabled, and backup
checked, the backup file is updated when the user clicks save. This means that
explicitly unsaved changes are written to the original (by autosave) and not to
the (or a) backup (where one might expect to find unsaved changes?).
What it seems like would make more sense:
Shouldn't autosave actually be autobackup? In other words, unsaved changes
would automatically be written to a backup file every few minutes, and then
only written over the original once the user clicked save.
