Description John Pye 2007-01-05 06:44:48 UTC
Please describe the problem:
A deleted file should give a warning like "since gedit loaded this file, the file on disk has been deleted. are you sure you want to close the file?"

Instead it gives something like "file has changed. save?"

Perhaps this could be made clearer -- 'file has changed' implies that I made changes using gedit, changes that I'm about to lose. 

But the fact of the matter could be something more like that I moved the file into a different directory via the command line, and am now returning to gedit just to close the file.

Just a minor thing (again :-)

Steps to reproduce:

Does this happen every time?
