I haven't run into this bug yet, if you find a reproducible way to cause it let me know so I can fix it.
If you want a possibly easier way to get rid of the edit lock you can edit the list field of the tiddler $:/state/Bob/EditingTiddlers, it is supposed to hold a list of all tiddlers that are opened in edit mode so that they aren't edited in two places at the same time. If you remove the tiddler title from the list field the lock should go away. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
