I believe I can confirm -- I too am using the Flatpak version, and I
recently noticed that the auto-save doesn't (always? ever?) seem to work. I
am currently on GnuCash 4.10+ Flatpak on Ubuntu 21.10.

Since I DO close and open all of my GnuCash book files frequently, it
hasn't been an issue yet, but I distinctly recall several times walking
away from the desk and when I return the file is still marked as not saved.

A few days ago I went in and re-set the auto save option, which had not
changed. (I believe I leave it set to five minutes. I'm not in my office to
look at the moment.)

Next time I'm in my office I will try to watch for it. If someone opens a
bug for this issue please post the bug number.
