[Enter steps to reproduce below:]
- Edit a file that is write protected file
- Try to save it under another filename.
- When the current window loses focus the Autosave kicks in
- Press cancel on the password dialog (which in (this case luckily) doesn't autofocus)
- Keep on pressing cancel while trying to extract the content ctr+a, ctr+c
And poof, there it goes. Will work everytime. It isn't really the fault of the autosave package. It is Atom itself that is not capable of dealing with write protected files. You can't save them elsewhere even when no autosave is being used it won't let you choose another destination.
Why it brings up the password dialog in the first place is beyond me anyway. Even if I enter my sudo capable password it will not be able to edit a file of the type that has the write privs at 0 (like 600, 700, 400 whatever). It would propably need a privileged helper tool for that.
