Re: [ jEdit-users ] Loss of Buffer Data

[Slava P. <sl...@je...>]

Hi,

Firstly, I believe this is a Java bug. Some people have reported that
it only happends if CodeAid is installed.

As for backups, files are backed up only once per session. I could make
this behavior configurable.

In the next major release, I am going to write my own document model,
because what you describe is one of many problems with the Swing document.
