My use case is a Mint 17.x VM using a VirtualBox vboxsf to a Win8.1 host. I had this same problem in Geany and it was driving me insane until I found http://wiki.geany.org/config/all_you_never_wanted_to_know_about_file_saving and then "Edit > Prefs > Various > use_atomic_file_saving: checked" fixed it for me. Be sure to read the URL as there are implications. Obviously this does not fix Gedit but it may be an acceptable work- around for some people.
