I think you are misunderstanding how auto save works with editors on
linux. The file you are editing is usually saved as a different file.
So if you are editing "myfile.txt"  then the older version of the file
is kept as "myfile.txt~" and the autosaved file is usually saved as
#myfile.txt#. This 2nd part differs depending on what editor you are
using. I am not very familiar with gedit's behaviour to give any more
details.
