The so-special setup you speak of is editing files on any FAT(32) disk
(eg USB Ramdrive) !!!
Is that really to be advertised as beyond the capabilities of Ubuntu?

Please note that some people even dare try to edit files on SMBFS !!!
And they're having the same kind of problem, described in Bug #34813.
On FAT32, the message is issued only if the file has been open in gedit
for quite a time, though.
I dropped Bug #34813 a note drawing the attention on the similarities
between the two bugs.
But they continue to mention SMBFS/CIFS exclusively.

Bug #125887 might at least be set to be a duplicate of Bug #34813
instead of "Invalid".
If only Bug #34813's title was changed to include FAT(32) too.

By closing bugs?
