Comment 17 for bug 34813

I disagree, this bug renders Ubuntu/Gnome useless in situations when working with other workstations in a domain.

Having a central file server for user and group data is very common, like pam-mounting a users home when logging in or just using a common cifs share for a group of workers.

High - Has a severe impact on a small portion of Ubuntu users

In my opinion, being unable to save textfiles is a severe impact, this bug should be marked as high.
This bug is pending long over one year now and we are talking about a text editors vital function!
