Comment 5 for bug 151365

Also grrr here....

Typing my eMails always in editor before sending them, my gnome-session just crashed after chaning xbacklight, and now i LOST ABOUT ONE HOUR OF TYPING THIS eMAIL!! - Why the heck dont you fix gedit to save an unsaved document tmp on whatever directory, if this feature is enabled in preferences???? - I have "Autosave files every 2 minutes" so i expect at least the things of the first 55 Minutes somewhere around my homedir, or this named out dir ~/.gnome2/gedit
But nada...

Repeatable: As often as you want if you dont save the file, and enable autosave....

My suggestion:
rename the text of the Preferences | Editor from "Autosave files every [textfield] minutes" to something similar like "Autosave files except unsaved files every [textfield] minutes", or to tell gedit to save the unsaved documents every xx minutes somewhere around homedir, or its own dir in .gnome2/gedit if enabled!

But like its now its not a feeature: Its really an annoying unneeded BUG!

Sorry for this language, im just a lil bit frustrated and want to push this bug up to get it fixed faster!
