This has happened to me TOO many times. I've lost several files when closing gedit that were on a mounted disk. There is no version with ~ at the end. Is there some other directory where these backups are saved? I DO have autosave enabled.

NAS: QNap TS-101 running Linux and Samba Problem App: gedit 2.20.3 Steps to reproduce: - Open mounted share folder - Double Click to open a text file (opens using the default GEdit program) - File opens properly, proceed to make edits - Click save, all APPEARS normal... - Make a few more edits - Click save and I'm warned that I can't save since the file DOES NOT EXIST ?? - The warning is correct - the FILE WAS DELETED from the server by GEdit! Notes: Editing/Saving the files on the NAS works properly using: - Windows XP from multiple machines - GVim from Ubuntu 7.1 - OpenOffice Document using Ubuntu 7.1 - So far I only see issues using GEdit on text files from the NAS (Local TXT ok) - I can reproduce this every time with any text file This bug is perhaps one of the most devious I've ever seen. Clicking SAVE causes the file to be deleted - OMG! PLEASE attend to this immediately.
