--- Comment #20 from Jack <ostroffjh at users.sourceforge.net> ---
I think it is clearly a problem with gdrive, probably some interaction with how
KMM actually saves a new version of the file.  The developers may correct me,
but I believe it actually saves the new file with a temporary name, and then,
once it is fully written and closed, it renames it.  I think with normal files
(at least on Windows and Linux) that rename operation replaces the original
file with the same name - perhaps gdrive doesn't work like a local hard drive -
either because of something Google does intentionally, or perhaps it's a subtle
timing issue related to Google syncing the local file with the online version.

Perhaps you can try "Save as" instead of save, but using the same name - just
to see if it behaves any differently.  Another test - save to a new name on
gdrive.  If that always works, then there is some issue with the specific
details of how KMM saves the file.
