Autosave
Any situation that causes Geany to stop unexpectedly can cause unsaved files to be lost, that includes logout, shutdown, crash etc. Had a question about this.
Do those situation only apply if those events occur while Geany is open?

If Geany is not closed properly (for example for the reasons you outlined above, or a very unlikely :) crash of Geany) then changes in the buffers in memory will be lost, but the files on disk should be ok. You would be fairly unlucky if a save was in progress when Geany shutdown leaving the disk file damaged.
The save actions plugin has some functions that allow intermittent saving or saving of backups if you have a flakey system or habitually forget to save before closing Geany.

Thanks.
My backup script runs twice a day, so I would not lose much in a worse case scenario.
