File Saving Bug

Hi all,

I've managed to find a pretty annoying bug.  I'm been working on a rather
large project(~75 src files), from the start, in kdevelop.  It seems that
the editor will sometimes revert to an earlier version of the file.  What
happens is that you will make a change, and compile, and everything will
work.  Later, when you come back to edit that particular file, the changes
will be gone.  It doesn't happen regularly, and I haven't been able to
isolate it completely.  If you close the file, and then revisit it in the
file browser, the file reloaded will be correct.  The real problem arises
when you don't notice that the changes have been lost, and you change
something else and compile.  You previous changes are lost from disk, you
have to complete redo them.

I've been using KDevelop since 0.2, and I never experienced this bug until I
upgraded to 0.4 just before Beta 1 was released.  I then quickly upgraded to
Beta 1 and am still having the problem.

Has anyone else experienced this?
