Is there any way to stop the save disk icon from turning on even if I switch documents? It's really annoying and makes me wonder if I already saved or not and some documents are huge so it takes time to save them.
It must have something to do with how the document is monitored in terms of the 'dirtyiness' of it and some things are picked up and registered as a dirty doc when it really isn't. Anyone dirty?
Have you tried checking with a VBA macro to see if it reports that the document is dirty?
Document.Dirty
That's not a solution, but I'm curious whether there are ever times where that disagrees with the display of the "save" icon and/or the asterisk after the filename in the title bar.
I've pin-pointed that page-changing (moving from page to page) is causing the dirtieness. How can I fix this?
I've tried your document in 2019, and I am not seeing the "Save" button becoming enabled when I switch from another document to your document.
Do you have any macro stuff configured to run automatically triggered by GlobalMacroStorage or document event(s)?
As a quick check, you could try launching CorelDRAW with F9 held down to disable VBA.
I tested again and it appears to be a key press that causes it. Try switching pages using page up page down keys, not the mouse.
Sorry, I looked back at the opening post, and was trying to trigger it by switching between documents.
Yes, with just that document open, switching pages by using Page Up or Page Down enables the Save button in 2019!
When I save the document as version 2018, and try the same thing in 2018, I see the same result.
I can confirm this as well. 2019 and 2018 does this. Bloody hell. I doubt something like this would ever be address by the devs since itwould be so minor to them because it's no about the users.
This false save warning can also be triggered if you go to page sorter view and double click on the next page and so on.
There are two ways to get around this - click the page number at bottom (if you can see the one you want) or use the arrow buttons section at bottom left.
