Appreciate any clarification.
Isn't it quite clear? The disk image is fine -- it reflects the state of the file at the time it was saved, which, as long as it was before the new bug hit, is not corrupted. But the in-memory data structure is hosed. If you saved it to disk, you'd have a corrupted file on disk, not just a corrupted file in memory. I thought this was all perfectly clear from the discussion. The danger is that those who've developed the "save after every edit" reflex will save the file to disk, not knowing that the in-memory data structure has become corrupt, precisely because the corruption can affect parts of the file that are offscreen. -- David W.
