I see. I suppose that does make sense given that IDEA will automatically hide tabs as I open more files.

That's the way it works...closing a tab is not equivalent to 'closing a window'
in the Windows/MDI paradigm. When you switch to another app from IDEA,
all changes are saved to disk...so if you edit a file and then switch to another
app (e.g. a command window to run an Ant task manually), all the changes
you have made will have been saved to disk. Note that this does not affect
the 'undo' functionality, which works across file save operations.
It can be a little suprising at first, but after a while I found that I never think
about file saving anymore...IDEA just does it!
