Recovery version prompt

[Jon P]

After some investigation, it's likely that simply opening the document setup would be enough to cause this issue, and potentially other panels that contained a Colour Flyout would also trigger the same issue.

A fix has gone in so when you are notified that this fix is in a beta build I'll be curious to know if you still see this prompt at all

Thanks Jon, that is it. It wasn't Document Setup for me but the Character and Paragraph panels have colour fly-outs so activating one of those panels triggers the recovery prompt, which explains why I was seeing this constantly.

This doesn't appear to have been fixed in 2449 as reported - opening a document, toggling from the paragraph panel to character to paragraph, closing the document, and re-opening, will still display the recovery prompt.

Yeah the original recipe is still an issue too, the issue has been re-opened and is being investigated

The culprits are the Character, Paragraph and Text Style Panels... I have my Panels Grouped as Layers | Character | Paragraph | Text Styles

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a New Document with the Character Panel Shown - Autosave File 08:21
2. Switch to the Paragraph Panel, Close the Document without Saving - Autosave File is Not Deleted
    
3. Create a New Document with the Paragraph Panel Shown - Autosave File 08:22
4. Switch to the Character Panel, Close the Document without Saving - the 08:21 Autosave File is Deleted (instead of the 08:22 Autosave File)
    
5. Create a New Document with the Character Panel Shown - Autosave File 08:23
6. Switch to the Paragraph Panel, Close the Document without Saving - No Autosave Files are Deleted
    
7. Create a New Document with the Paragraph Panel Shown - Autosave File 08:24
8. Switch to the Character Panel, Close the Document without Saving - the 08:23 Autosave File is Deleted (instead of the 08:24 Autosave File)
    
9. Create a New Document with the Character Panel Shown - Autosave File 08:25
10. Switch to the Paragraph Panel, Close the Document without Saving - No Autosave Files are Deleted
     
11. Create a New Document with the Paragraph Panel Shown - Autosave File 08:26
12. Switch to the Character Panel, Close the Document without Saving - No Autosave Files are Deleted (differs from previous panel switches above)
     
13. Create a New Document with the Character Panel Shown - Autosave File 08:27
14. Switch to the Text Styles Panel, Close the Document without Saving - No Autosave Files are Deleted
     
15. Create a New Document with the Text Styles Panel Shown - Autosave File 08:28
16. Switch to the Character Panel, Close the Document without Saving - the 08:27 Autosave File is Deleted (instead of the 08:28 Autosave File)
     
17. Create a New Document with the Character Panel Shown - Autosave File 08:29
18. Switch to the Text Styles Panel, Close the Document without Saving - No Autosave Files are Deleted
     
19. Create a New Document with the Text Styles Panel Shown - Autosave File 08:30
20. Switch to the Character Panel, Close the Document without Saving - the 08:30 Autosave File is correctly Deleted
     
21. Create a New Document with the Character Panel Shown - Autosave File 08:31
22. Switch to the Paragraph Panel, Close the Document without Saving - the 08:26 Autosave File is Deleted (instead of the 08:31 Autosave File)
     
23. Create a New Document with the Paragraph Panel Shown - Autosave File 08:32
24. Switch to the Character Panel, Close the Document without Saving - the 08:31 Autosave File is Deleted (instead of the 08:32 Autosave File)
     
25. Create a New Document with the Text Styles Panel Shown - Autosave File 08:33
26. Switch to the Character Panel, Close the Document without Saving - the 08:32 Autosave File is Deleted (instead of the 08:33 Autosave File)
     
27. Create a New Document with the Text Styles Panel Shown - Autosave File 08:34
28. Switch to the Paragraph Panel without Closing the Document - the 08:33 Autosave File is Deleted

 

There appear to be three things happening here...

1. Switching from the Character Panel to the Paragraph Panel or the Text Styles Panel and then Closing the Document without saving it isn't deleting the Autosave file...
    
2. Switching from the Paragraph Panel to the Character Panel and then Closing the Document without saving is generally (though not always) deleting the previous (incorrect) Autosave file...
    
3. Switching from the Text Styles Panel to the Paragraph Panel is (sometimes but not always) closing the previous (incorrect) Autosave file without any documents being closed...
