Daniel - your duplicate assessment is incorrect.

In my case gedit is "deleting the source file" whereas in 34813 it is simply "disallowing a save" for the first try or two. There is a BIG DIFFERENCE between the two issues.

I want my wife to use ubuntu and if the first time she edits a file it gets deleted - well guess what - it will NEVER be used again.

This is a high priority, critical bug affecting a commonly used piece of software.

And - I also see many, many other issues related to gedit. Perhaps the ubuntu decision makers should make a change to a better default text editor. I'm go to start looking for one now.
