Summary: Untitled buffer lost when no others and C+n pressed

Initial Comment:
This bug is related to https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1984000&group_id=588&atid=100588
When there are no other buffers, and C+n is pressed all data in the Untitled buffer is lost. I would think that if the Untitled buffer is not empty, opening a file should not erase the data that is there.

To recreate this bug, you should do the following... 
1) close all files
2) type something
3) open another file

What ever you typed in that buffer should be lost. I think this behavior goes against what an editor is for in that what you input should be preserved at all costs, or at least a dialog should appear asking you to save it.

Apologies.
I didn't see that last comment.. That did work! thanks so much. I'm pretty
sure I did and the buffer got erased. However, since that first time, I am
unable to reproduce.. So I'm closing this issue..

thanks very much for the prompt response.

Problem was in the settings.

Message:
you can "create a new buffer" or "open an existing file".
There is no such thing as "open a new file".
I don't understand what your issue is anymore.

Message:
CORRECTION:
This is happening when opening a new file, not creating a new Untitled
buffer.

so C+n above should be changed to C+o.

Thanks,
C.

Message:
For the first issue, if you do not want this to happen, go to global
options - saving and backup and un-check
the "never mark untitled buffers dirty", and you will not lose data in
untitled buffers. 
If you have it checked, you should not care about what is lost in untitled
buffers.

For the second issue, if you type something in a new untitled buffer and
then
do "save" it will ask you for a filename. Does it not do that for you? Do
you provide a filename to save?

Message:
Also when no other files are open and you type something and then save,
your data gets erased..

to reproduce:

1) open jedit
2) close all files File->close all
3) type something.
4) save it.

Bad editor.. bad.. you're supposed to save the data not destroy it.. :)
Anyway, this is pretty serious if you open up jedit for the first time and
have all your work erased when you save. I would recommend a 7 or 8
priority.

Thanks,
C.
