This has happened to me TOO many times.  I've lost several files when
closing gedit that were on a mounted disk.  There is no version with ~
at the end.  Is there some other directory where these backups are
saved?  I DO have autosave enabled.

Title:
  GEdit deletes files rather than saves (on samba share)

Status in Light-Weight Text Editor for Gnome:
  Confirmed
Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gedit

  Local PC: Using Ubuntu Gutsy with full updates run ~12/16/2007.
  NAS: QNap TS-101 running Linux and Samba
  Problem App: gedit 2.20.3

  Steps to reproduce:
  - Open mounted share folder
  - Double Click to open a text file (opens using the default GEdit program)
  - File opens properly, proceed to make edits
  - Click save, all APPEARS normal...
  - Make a few more edits
  - Click save and I'm warned that I can't save since the file DOES NOT EXIST ??
  - The warning is correct - the FILE WAS DELETED from the server by GEdit!

  Notes:
  Editing/Saving the files on the NAS works properly using:
  - Windows XP from multiple machines
  - GVim from Ubuntu 7.1
  - OpenOffice Document using Ubuntu 7.1

  - So far I only see issues using GEdit on text files from the NAS (Local TXT ok)
  - I can reproduce this every time with any text file

  This bug is perhaps one of the most devious I've ever seen.  Clicking
  SAVE causes the file to be deleted - OMG!  PLEASE attend to this
  immediately.
