Ok this is getting nasty. The latest experience with this bug (Ubuntu 11.10) when trying to edit/save a textfile is a dialog popping up, telling me that gedit is unable to save the file. If you decide to close the editor for some reason now, the file is completely gone. You didn't just loose your changes, you lost the complete text file. There might be an invisible ~backup file around, but from a users point of view, the file is gone.
Can we please make that bug critical? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34813 Title: gedit fails to save files over smbfs/cifs Status in Light-Weight Text Editor for Gnome: Confirmed Status in SambaServer: Invalid Status in SSHFS Mounter: Confirmed Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Saving files over a cifs/smbfs server doesnt work. 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 : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
