Bug Description
Binary package hint: gedit
The warning message "The file (name) has been modified by another process since reading it. If you save it, all the external changes could be lost. Save anyway?" frequently appears when I try to save an existing file in gedit, when I haven't had the file open in anything else (though I do run a commercial on-access antivirus www.sophos.com). The file is saved normally if I select "save anyway".
The files I have seen it in are all on a FAT32 partition (where I also have the "can't back up" bug https:/

Thank you for your bug. Does it happen only on fat32? Do you have a way to trigger the bug? Are you sure than no other program is touching the file? Might be something similar to http:// bugzilla. gnome.org/ show_bug. cgi?id= 409374
