Unfortunately, this appears to be the defect that bit me at least once, while working a series of edits, I was doing a number of find and replace operations, then poof, the file was gone! I had a few other browsers handy, so tested them.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open any code module
- Press the Find button
- Put the cursor in the Replace box (it seems that no text is necessary)
- Press the Delete key
- Dialog pops up asking to delete that module, default button is [OK]
So, how did I delete an important file? While getting "comfortable" in doing a number of find and replace, I spelled a replace string wrong (added an extra character), cursored over ahead of the character, then stroked delete and enter. Delete to get rid of the offending character, and enter to perform the replace. Since delete popped up the delete file dialog, with ok as the default, there was no time to keep my finger from down-stroking on the <enter> key - and the file was gone. It actually happened so quickly that I wasn't able to read the dialog the first time.
How I wish I had had version control on that file...
