I've had the same problem since I first started using Gedit regularly. I
have the auto-save function set to every 1 minutes so the UI locking up
can be very irritating.
I've had this problem with Gedit on Ubuntu and Linux Mint. I've also had
this same problem with Xed, so, that implies that this is an old bug
hidden deep within the Xed and Gedit shared code.
I hope this gets fixed -- I have auto-save enabled in Notepad++ on a
Windows install and it doesn't suffer from this problem.

Title:
autosave freezes editor and loses keystrokes
Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
The very useful autosave feature that runs every five minutes locks up
the editor when it runs, and when it happens, any keystrokes typed
during the interval are lost.
Such that when typing the following (for example) :
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If autosave runs during that interval, here is an example of what ends up
being processed :
abcdefghpqrstuvwxyz
As is obvious, keystrokes for "ijklmno" are lost.
This happens every time.
I am not sure if this is specific to gedit, or to the input framework
I am using (IBus, and at times Anthy for Japanese input)
This is quite annoying as it forces me to re-read absolutely
everything I typed to make sure gedit did not miss anything.
