Hi,
Same problem for me. I use Ubuntu Gutsy in a mixed environment (Windows

existing file located on a remote cifs share. Eclipse can save but often
fires errors like "out of sync".
This is very annoying.
Thanks

1. The problem is not in gedit, it's in SAMBA (smbfs) over CIFS

Gedit opens a file, moves the original file to a backup file while keeping the
