This relates to the following bug too, which doesn't seem to have been accepted as something needing attention... https://bugs.launchpad.net/gedit/+bug/151365 ...and which just bit me - since activating 'autosave' I thought the editor would save automatically, but a previously unsaved file is the exception.
This user report concurs... https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/14837 I can't really get away from the simple headline, - "Text Editor Fails to Save Edited Text." If it was a human being with this responsibility, we'd expect their resignation on the desk Monday morning, so why do we put up with it in software. Steps to replicate - use gedit for a bit as a text editor - do not save, or save and do not realise you have to click 'autosave' in the preferences - encounter a problem (battery flat, non-resume from sleep, crash) - lose your hard-edited text -- Lost text file contents due to desktop bug - change autorecover defaults! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/596559 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
