That's intentional.

There are physically 2 versions of a tiddler while editing. The "Draft of" 
tiddler and the the original tiddler. Once you save the Draft, it 
overwrites the existing tiddler.

This mechanism is the same with a "browser only" version of TW, where it is 
the only possible solution to persist "edit-state" between 2 different 
sessions.

booking it, I definitely don't want to get a bill.

You would have no possibility to easily undo your changes, between 2 
sessions.

I'm not sure. ... But you may have expectations, that are different to the 
existing workflow.
