  2. New File

  4. Close Code
  5. Open Code

The typed text should be saved.

OS Version

Other Linux

Software Version

Latest release (I have run all updates)

Just a guess that autosave triggers after a short delay of no typing so if app closed soon after typing something that last typed content doesn't get saved. Fix would likely be to trigger any unsaved content explicitly on close document if the option is enabled?

I am able to repro this issue - autosave works if you close just the tab - does not work if you either quickly click the X close button after typing fresh text or press the CTRL+Q quit shortcut.

Looking into a fix.

@davidak If you are able to test out https://github.com/elementary/code/pull/1188 that would be helpful :smile:
