GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 653688
Gedit does not auto-save unnamed files
Last modified: 2011-06-30 08:31:48 UTC
Currently, even when preferences are overridden to introduce a sensible backup behaviour in GEdit, such as periodic backup, this is not respected for files which haven't yet been given a path and name in the filesystem. If a file has not yet been saved, there is no backup kept. This should be changed so that the Backup preferences correspond to expected behaviour.
