Bug Description

I was just typing, editing a file (with a few other opened in other tabs).
Suddenly Gedit started consuming a lot of cpu and after a few seconds it crashed.

Upon restart, it didn't even give me an option to restore the unsaved file from a backup, which is the worst thing. Doesn't gedit automatically save a hidden backup every very few seconds as ALL decent text editing programs do, from vim to LibreOffice?? that's unbelievable. If it does, then it "forgot" to ask me whether I wanted to restore it.

I lost all the unsaved changes.

Hope this report gets the relevant files attached.

Shit, apport is useless. It didn't attach any log or crash dump. I'm wasting my time.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 12.10 (quantal) reached end-of-life on May 16, 2014.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported in a currently supported version of Ubuntu?

Please let us know if you do otherwise this bug report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
