NP++ 3.9 mysteriously pretending to save file

Hi all, I'm using NP++ 3.9 and only recently, noticed this problem.
I'm usually pretty anal about saving all the time. Typically, I'll write a few lines of code or change a few lines and always press ctrl+S right after. But apparently, sometimes this doesn't *actually* save the file! Much to my chagrin. I'd upload the files to my server only to find the changes I made not showing up...wondering what was going on...then checking the actual file with another program to find that none of the purported changes had been saved to the file.
To fix this, I've had to override by doing "save as"..."!!! the file already exists! do you want to replace it" (yeah, yeah)...
I mean, what's going on here!? When I save, I want the file to actually save; you can't get more basic than that. I'm wondering if this is a known bug, or if anyone else has experienced this, and if upgrading to NP++ 4 will fix it. It's a great program, and I'd like to keep using it, but come on, it has to be *reliable*.
Are you saving to a local drive with full access rights? I've heard of trouble trying to save across a network. Also, what's keeping you from trying 4.1.2? I ask because I'm not having any trouble saving as I go -- but I use the button or the menu, not the shortcut key. --Joel
