1.) The templates do not contain any macros at all. They never have. They
never will.
2.) I can reproduce the issue across different machines in a heterogeneous
work environment and on client machines.
3.) Because I know what I'm doing
4.) I have a long history of beta testing and discovering undocumented bugs
for which a patch is later issued. :) It is my contribution to making the
binary world a better place.
Here is a bit more information...
During the "double save" bug, the file saved are not empty, but they don't
contain any test/styles/content/picture. I tested this by...
1.) Saving from the first prompt.
2.) Copying the file to a new location
3.) Opening the file - it was empty, but when opened with a hex editor did
contain content of sorts.
I preserved such a file and then reproduced the "double save" bug and used
the first prompt to save over the file I had made in the Step 2 above. It
asked if I wished to overwrite or merge. I chose merge. In this scenario,
from the merge display area (where it shows the final merge result and views
of the two merging documents) all three window areas shows information. Ex:
If the panes are: A, B, and C (with A being the merged final result, B merge
file 1, C merge file 2), A showed B+C, B showed the content of the current
file, C showed the content of the file created in Step 3 above. However, if
file C was opened on its own (ie - not opened through a merge dialog) the
file file contained no content/pictures/text/etc...
