Bug Description
To reproduce:
Create one file with "Well, then", save as test.txt, and close.
Create another file with "Hello there" and attempt to overwrite test.txt.
You will see "Well, then" in your editor, and "Hello there" has been destroyed (no backup either).
This, in combination with a resurfacing of bug #1392031, caused me to lose about an hour of work. Ouchies.
Workaround: ALWAYS use a new filename when saving.
