GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 456704
Save should work for small disk icons as well
Last modified: 2013-03-29 23:03:50 UTC
When a file has been modified its tab shows a small disk icon to mark it as "dirty" (content unsaved). Clicking on this icon should save the corresponding file and remove the disk icon, indicating that content has been saved. On a related note, disk icon on the toolbar is somewhat confusing, because it can only work if an unsaved tab has been selected. If it is clicked an the wrong tab is selected, nothing happens and the user is not properly informed.
The first part of this bug is bug 449087. I've just pushed a fix for the second part, being that we don't correctly set sensitivity on Save actions. Thanks for your bug report.
