Comment 8 for bug 125887

I confirm Rebecca's report.
As I'm deep testing 8.04a4-6, I gedit files on an external fat32 USB drive and it happens exactly as she says : occasionally, saving, or rather wanting to save, a long time edit file (typically dormant behind a background tab) will produce that message.
But the file is saved all-right.
Only thing unusual is USB 1.1 (slower (as a network is?))
(Ubuntu's fitting an old компьютер сюрприз gift to a Belarussian kiddie!!!)
Mikael's experience looks more like bug 34813.
Might be worth the trip?
'cause of course, the question is : would the cause be the same?

Can probably be reproduced with the same setup ... and patience.
Else, what could we do to help?
After what test does gedit issue this message?
What procedure could be used to spy gedit?
I would if I was told.

Could this bug move to "confirmed"?

André.
