It's something I've mentioned before but have been unable to reproduce
and have doubted my own memory.

However,  it seems it is a real issue though reproducing it is tricky.

I went through the process of editing a project extensively and
periodically saving and rendering and saving as an
STL to check some measurements.

I then went through parametrising the code and adding comments but
didn't save the code, just rendered it
and created an STL then closed without a save and it didn't warn me
about the unsaved code and I lost
all the latter changes.

Fortunately because I did a render the backup was up to date :-)

Sorry to say there is definitely a "hole" in there somewhere though it
is very hard to reproduce.

Regards,
Dave
