Background saving forgets editing

Hi,

can please somebody confirm this effect in Corel 2019.

a) Open and edit some Corel file that loads and saves slow (e.g. something with large and many bitmaps)

b) Save your file in the background. Corel Shows the save icon in the toolbar.

c) While Corel saves in the background continue editing (the save incon is shown in the toolbar). I just added some rectangles.

d) Corel completes background saving but the document status doesn't become "dirty". Corel doesn't know the document is changed - no asterix behind the filename - save menu grayed.

If you now close Corel it will not remind you to save your last edits. Everything you have edited while Coreldraw was saving will be forgotten.

Workaround: Edit something after Corel has finished saving in the background. This will make the file "dirty" and the Save option will be available again.

I think Corel has to set the document "dirty" after background saving if editing took place while saving.

What do you see and think?

  • Hi!

    Version 21.3.0.755

    Funny thing, I have the little asterix appear WHILE background saving. If I add do any maneuvres while saving, the little asterix remains. Once the saving done, that little asterix disappears. I can shutdown either the file or CorelDRAW completely and I also have no warning to save. I confirm. I meet this issue as well as you.


    I haven't run into another issue that bugged me since this last updated version. It was that only by toggling between files, an already saved file, without any change applied to it, would have the little asterix reappear and the save button available. That caused a lot of confusion. Sometimes, returning to the file in question. I had to undo and redo steps to verify if the last 'good' version of the file was properly saved. Corel developpers probably created another bug while trying to resolve this bug I reported, that probably others met as well...
