Title:
  Files edited under Ubuntu corrupted when saving other files under
  windows on a shared NTFS partition

Status in “ntfs-3g” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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
