Hi gedit dev guys!
First of all, thank you for developing gedit. It starts so
fast and has such a great search-and-replace tool that I use
it all the time. Nice job!
But I'm writing to make a little suggestion. The way I often
use gedit is the following:
I have some text on the clipboard that I've just copied from
some source code. I open gedit and I paste it on it. What I do
is simply a search-and-replace for some variables or pieces of
code. After that, I cut the text and I paste it elsewhere.
This leaves the gedit document empty. However, when I decide
to close gedit, even if the document is 100% empty, gedit asks
me if I want to save the document.
So my request is: would it be possible that you guys modified
gedit so it does not ask if you want to save a document that
is empty? Gedit already does this when you create new
documents but you don't edit them. But it seems that once you
type something, gedit consideres the document as edited, even
if the document ends up empty. Does this make sense?
We do this because you might potentially still loose data when
closing the document (because the data is still available in the
undo buffer). Also, we can't really distinguish the case you
describe from one where you accidentally clear the document and
close it. Even though this might not be a very regular case, we
prefer to be as protective as possible.

Thanks for your help.
