** Summary changed:

- misinformation in Gedit
+ Gedit may offer "Close without saving" despite document having been saved

** Description changed:

  In Gedit:
- When editing a document, renaming the folder in which it resides, trying to save the document by clicking "Save" on the toolbar, getting an error saying the file cannot be found, saving the document at its new directory by choosing the "File" menu -> "Save as...", and then trying to close Gedit, one still gets a warning that the document cannot be saved, and, gedit asks if I want to save the document. Clicking "Save", nothing hapens (and Gedit doesn't close). This leaves me with the option to cancel or to close without saving. If I want to close Gedit, I have to choose the latter. This is where the papercut arises: I am forced to click on a button that communicates that the document has not/will not be saved, while it has indeed been saved perfectly in its new place.
