Title:
  Gedit autosave & backup seem to be the wrong way around?

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.
