[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #62271] GUI crashes and clears function files on closing (Windows)

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #62271 (project octave):

@ttl - just confirming, the change in save behavior to try to catch this did
make it into 7.1?

that change was made becasue it was noticed that in versions <7.1, if
something happened during a save, the entire file could be lost because there
was no buffer.  I believe the intent of the new method is to write the new
version to a temporary file, after successful write copy that version over the
old version, and after a successful copy delete the temporary.  

I don't know at what point the the process the tab filename would update to
hit at how far it got. 

Is it possible something is interrupting the file write or copy? a problem
with temporary file location (assuming its not the local folder)?
