[Github-comments] [geany] Auto save with Strip trailing spaces is really annoying (#678)

[van-de-bugger]

Copied from [SourceForge](http://sourceforge.net/p/geany/bugs/835/):

When I have both auto-save and also strip trailing spaces turned on, I find a couple of problems if I am typing when auto-save triggers (i.e. quite often).

* If I am just about to type at the start of a new line when the auto save triggers then the current indent disappears and my cursor is left at the beginning of the line.
* If auto-save triggers while typing and I have just typed a space that space will disappear and my typing will continue, error included.

I can see this is consequence of my choice of preferences, but I still think there is a case for improvement here. The simple solution (without knowing the codebase at all) would seem to be to turn off the stripping temporarily for auto-saves. Is this possible?

And yes, I know it is 2012 but I have found myself in a situation where auto-save is a necessity :(

Geany 0.21.

Today it is 2015, Geany 1.25, everything is in place.
