Comment 44 for bug 34813

Sorry to hear about the very serious deletion bug. As far as I can see, it is still open and set to high importance. I also understand your disaffection with gedit after such a problem, and sympathize with you. However, I wouldn't issue such a sweeping condemnation of gedit based so little information. If you read Peter's earlier comments, this bug is largely related to gedit's extremely conservative saving procedure, and its resolution has been delayed by a general desire to maintain the robustness of the saving protocol by not introducing race conditions. I have a hunch (which, by all rights, could easily be wrong) that 177710 is probably somewhat unrelated to the issues here. The dev's are usually good about fixing critical bugs like this.
