I won't write exactly what I feel at the moment as I'd be banned from the forum, but I'm sure everyone can imagine ...
After many hours of work, I've now lost the source file I've been working on, thanks to a bug in Programing Editor 4.1.2
This isn't the sequence that trashed my hard work, but it shows the problem ...
Start Programming Editor 4.1.2
In the 'empty window' enter "XXXX"
Use Save As to save "XXXX.BAS"
Open a new edit window using File -> New -> New Basic.
In the new, empty window type "YYYY"
Use File -> Save As to save "YYYY.BAS"
use File -> Exit or click the [X] Application close button
When the pop-up appears for XXXX.BAS saying "Text has changed. Save changes ?", click Yes, even though the file hasn't changed at all.
The Programmming Editor then closes down.
Run the Programming Editor Again.
Use File -> Open -> XXXX.BAS
Oh look; XXXX.BAS contains the contents of YYYY.BAS. The contents of XXXX.BAS have disappeared off the face of the earth.
Same problem occurs whether files are saved in ASCII or RTF.
