My use case is a Mint 17.x VM using a VirtualBox vboxsf to a Win8.1 host. I had this same problem in Geany and it was driving me insane until I found http://wiki.geany.org/config/all_you_never_wanted_to_know_about_file_saving and then "Edit > Prefs > Various > use_atomic_file_saving: checked" fixed it for me. Be sure to read the URL as there are implications. Obviously this does not fix Gedit but it may be an acceptable work- around for some people.

You can open file, edit then save perfectly. But repeated saves after give you this error: "The file /home/dhonn/website/arrays.php has been modified since reading it. If you save it, all the external changes could be lost. Save it anyway?" The think is lying to me because I havent made any external changes. When I click "Save Anyway", i get this error: "Could not save the file /home/dhonn/website/arrays.php." But on the third try it works just fine. Here are the error messages, btw there are also GUI glitches too: http://dhonn.com/images/gedit-0.jpg http://dhonn.com/images/gedit-1.jpg To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gedit/+bug/34813/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
