I'm working on a project that has a number of parts, each in a different file, and a top level file that pulls them all together. Occasionally when switching between files, I see that fie X now has the contents of file Y which is the previous file I opened! At that point, all I can really do is close and not save, and reload the file losing whatever I've done. So far it hasn't bit me hard, I'm pretty paranoid about saving my work (40 years of embedded systems development...) but I wanted to mention it since it's happened multiple times. This is happening in OpenSCAD <https://www.openscad.org/> version 2022.01.10.ci10199 (git e6894b77a) -- K1FZY (WA4TPW) SK 9/29/37-4/13/15

Can you try "save as" for each file (saving to a completely new filename)? Keep track of what contents you saw before you saved (maybe a word or two of that to identify in the new filename). That would answer if the swap was "real" or a presentation glitch (this might help the developers). It might also allow you to recover your changes (might help you until they find/fix the issue). Personally, I use an external editor (notepad++ has treated me very well, but there are many others).
