Public bug reported:
Gedit does not create a backup file of a saved file even if the preferences of
gedit are set to do so. On a save it just over writes the original file
without creating a backup copy of the original file (*.~ file).
This problem has been present since Ubuntu 11.04. It is still present now in
Ubuntu 11.10.
The problem does not exist in Ubuntu 10.04.

Title:
gedit is set to provide a backup file afer a save. However, gedit has
not done so since its ubuntu lucid release. It just replaces the
original copy of whatever file it being saved. The preferences have
been set to provide a backup. This is not a permissions problem. I
can create new text files and it obviously writes them to the
partition where I want to save the created new files.
