For me gedit itself has never crashed, yet I've been affected multiple times by this bug.
Causes include: * loss of power * sudden freeze (Linux BSOD) * failed hibernation recovery * X11 killed after running out of memory * my own stupidity (accidental ctrl+c/kill -9) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151365 Title: Autosave doesn't work for Unsaved Documents Status in Light-Weight Text Editor for Gnome: New Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Autosave doesn't happen if the document has *never* been saved. It should, since data can be lost if there is a crash while an unsaved document is in the editor.
