 |
|
There seems to be an odd intermittent bug in D7 that randomly marks a buffer
as Read Only and doesn't allow it to be changed back to read-write until it
is closed and reopened. This stupid very annoying bug is rather rare but when
it happens it nearly always causes some work to be lost.

I can confirm this. It is in D6 too. However it is not quite random, it appears when
there are some syntax errors. It seems to be related to the kibitz compiler.

I know... it annoys me on rare occasions, too.

It never causes loss of work for me. How come it does for you?

This only happens to me (also in D2005) when there was some kind of weird
IDE or compiler error first. The first time I can usually reset the flag,
but the second time, I can't, and have to close and reopen the file.

That could be, indeed.

I have this once in a while in D6 but I can just right-click in the editor
windows and unclick the Read-only options..
Cheers,
