Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 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.
