Description Sven Arvidsson 2007-02-13 18:10:51 UTC 
This bug was reported to the Debian BTS.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=390618

"Using Gedit, the user opens a read-only file, then makes it writable,
but then has to re-open the document in order to write to it. Gedit is
only interested in the initial state of the file, which is an annoying
bug, minor as it may seem to someone else. Gedit, however forgets this
initial-state operation when the user closes the application, at which
it gives a warning that the document has not been closed, and is able
to save that document. It's a mess."

The behavior described above about Gedit forgetting the state when closing does not seem to apply to 2.16.

I can confirm this bug.
Comment 2 Jeff Shipley 2008-10-20 22:42:07 UTC 
This bug appears to still exist in gedit 2.22.3, but is fixed in 2.24.
Comment 3 Carnë Draug 2011-05-18 02:39:14 UTC 
Thank you for the reporting the bug. I can also confirm that this is fixed so I'm closing it.
