hello Telesto, nice to see you alive and active ...  

> It will be hard to address this without sample file  
Yes, I know, but I don't see the point in investigating, providing  
better info, with the only reaction being asked two years later  
to check if the issue vanished in the meantime. The post is more a  
warning to users and a demand to programmers ... try to produce  
stable code.  

> There a plethora of possible causes.    
Yes, and each "I think it helps" instable patch doubles them.

All these shouldn't come up in stable programs, and we can't blame  
innocent unwitting users about it.

And all that is quite poor "poking in the fog" ...

Yes, it's not useless, however a better coding discipline and some rework  
might be beneficial.  

An idea to help people who have saved older states ... provide an option for  
side by side compare of the old and new version, with highlighting differences 
 and easy transfer would save a lot of time in the experimenting you proposed.  

Just my two cents ...
