[Bug 1052566] [NEW] Files edited under Ubuntu corrupted when saving other files under windows on a shared NTFS partition

Hi,

I have a dual boot Windows 8/Ubuntu 12 on a SSD drive and a shared NTFS
partition (for data storage) on another hard drive. I noticed that some
of the files I edited under Linux (they were Matlab source code file)
were corrupted. They actually looked like images that are opened with a
text editor. By curiosity, I changed the '.m' extension to '.png', and I
noticed they were screenshot of a video game I played (in Windows) just
after working on these files in Linux. The games I played as well as the
Matlab files were all on the shared NTFS partition. Only recently edited
Matlab files were corrupted

Now I do not dare opening my code files, fearing I might lose them again
if I boot with Windows.

A similar problem is described here:

I don't know about the release as I am in office now. All what I can say
is that I am using Ubuntu 12 and it is regularly updated
