Weird issue when closing tabs

[arashsa]

Whenever I have a tab open, and I close it and the file has not been saved, I am asked if I want to save the file, which I do, and what happens is that the content of that file is then copied to another file that also is open. Very strange behaviour. Have never encountered anything similar. Brackets seem to have a lot of issues with files.

@arashsa Do you see the same tab appearing twice which seems like 2 entries of the same file?

[petetnt]

If this is not related to the same doc both views-feature...:

@swmitra I have sometimes ran into a situation where the title bar shows foo.js but the file contents are of bar.js which was open on the pane previously. See the last part of this:

#11820 (comment)

I have ran into it once or twice after that, but I haven't been able to repeat it. It could be related to #11826 though too.

[arashsa]

@swmitra No, the actual content of one file gets copied over to another file. Has been happening a few times lately. Very annoying, and when it happens, sometimes I can't the the old content back, and need to pull the file from git.

@petetnt Does not seem to be related.

[petetnt]

@arashsa Then it seems to be the thing I described in #11820 (comment).

You don't actually lose the contents until you save the file (the document isn't marked dirty either), but if you make a change it does lead to data loss which sucks.

[arashsa]

@petetnt No, not really. You are describing changes to the same file in two different panes, I am having issues with two separate files, which is very strange. And these files are not open in different panes, but in different tabs. So let's say I change something in one scss file (only experienced this with scss files), and then I don't save it, but close the tab, then say yes to the popup that asks to save, then another file that is opened suddenly is overwritten with the content of the file I just closed. I think it has been the file that gets open after I have closed the other file.

This seems somewhat unrelated to your issue, no?

[petetnt]

@arashsa Actually that's the exact scenario I am facing, the wording here is kinda bad (the header is flipper around: it should say that title changes but the contents are the same) though:

Haven't been able to repeat this in a repeatable manner, but sometimes when closing files that are duplicated, pane text and the contents of the file don't match. Might be related to the working set behavior. Saving the file in this state brings tons of unsuspected behaviors.

For example if I close foo.scss, pane header shows bar.scss but the file contents are of foo.scss. If I close Brackets the bar.scss contents haven't actually changed.

[arashsa]

@petetnt Oh, sorry about that. So, any solutions?

[swmitra]

@petetnt @arashsa let me see, if I can repro this then work on the solution tonight.

[petetnt]

I tried to repro this for a while just now but couldn't. Hopefully you have better luck

I have the same problem. Just updated to 1.6 on Ubuntu 14.04 and anytime I make a modification to an opened file, it opens a new tab when upon saving.

edit: looks like a css issue (see the new styles), because I don't see those new styles.

[petetnt]

@adriennn The flip-view buttons, by default, are visible when hovering over the header bar (you can toggle that from preferences).

The other thing might be due to #11820 ?

If not, can you provide some screens how your panes look like after saving (and what is the expected outcome)

[adriennn]

hey @petetnt,
after trying some stuff, I finally realize it was down to the "Documents Toolbar" extension (I forgot brackets didn't have the file tabs above the panels by default), so I guess I'll revert to 1.5 until that extension is fixed. see issue. So my issue wasn't the same as @arashsa, I got confused with his mention of tabs.

[dnbard]

Looks like Brackets events aren't sent anymore in Brackets v1.6.0.

I can reproduce the issue with API I'm using:

workingSetRemove event aren't triggered when file was removed from working files list - file is still in the list event after Close menu item was selected.

[petetnt]

@dnbard There's a fix tracking at #12145

[abose]

A build refresh is scheduled by his week or next for 1.6 and after that the new installers posted will contain this fix.
Closing as fixed.
