One of the smart, smart cookies at Coda sent this to me yesterday:
The overwrite problem happens if you have a text block OPEN for editing and auto save kicks in. Any text block that shares the same "Raw TextID" in all open documents will be changed.
I can now reproduce from scratch:
Open up two docs without libraries
In the first one, create a text block that says "File A" In the second one, create a text block that says "File B" Save both files Set auto save to 1 minute. Double-click File A's handle Let auto save do its thing. Go to document # 2 and redraw the screen. Kablam!
(This comment may be a little late in the game, since it looks like the last few posts in the thread are worrying out the same conclusion, but...)
What if this is not a failure of the 'auto' portion of the 'auto save' code, but a failure of the 'save' portion of not only the 'auto save' code but the 'save' code. (They should be the same subroutine, or at least congruent.) The difference may seem trivial, but clearing it up may save Coda a lot of time in tracking the bug.
The obvious experiment is to try the steps listed above, but change step four from 'Set auto save to 1 minute' to 'Ensure that auto save is turned off.' Then in the penultimate step, instead of waiting for the (now non-functional) Auto Save function to act, 'type Command-S' to Save the document.
If that _also_ gives the Kablam! then Coda should be told ASAP so they can look at the core Save routines and not spend a lot of extra time wandering through the timer loops and priority threads that enclose Auto Save activation.
