I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 as the guest in virtual box with windows 8.1 as host.

Whenever I try to save a text file I have been editing I get this error message on my first try at saving the file.

"Could not save file /thedirectory/thefilename
Unexpected error: Error renaming temporary file: Text file busy."

Is this a Virtualbox problem or an Ubuntu problem? How can I get it to save correctly first time?

NOTE : this happens in the shared folder - not in the rest of Ubuntu hence it might be a virtual box problem.
