Since the last update I'm experiencing a strange issue with saving filters. I can't reproduce it, but it always goes something like this:

1) I'm working inside the filter editor for some time...

2) I notice the filter editor window title bar displays an asterisk behind the filter name, signifying the existence of unsaved work...

3) I decide I should save my work, and hit CTRL+S. But the asterisk is still there! smile:?:
(Filter appears to be unsaved?)

4) I go to 'File > Save Filter'... asterisk still there! smile:evil:
(Filter definitely appears to be unsaved!)

5) I hit the 'Save Filter' button, the filter gets saved (finally!) and the app exits out of the filter editor

OR

5) I hit the 'X' button on the window bar to close the filter editor window, get the 'The filter has been modified. Save changes?' dialog. I hit 'Yes', the filter saves and the editor closes.

Anyone else getting this?

The bug turned up quite frequently on my FF session this night, but it seems random and I still can't reproduce it reliably.

Call me crazy.....but it sounds like part of the Bastard Bug (aka - resource leak) that you don't get.....so welcome to the club...... smile;) smile:D

That used to happen to me too when I left FF running too long.....and to avoid it, I now do frequent shutdowns and re-starts of FF......

If that were true, why didn't I get this bug with earlier versions?

This is related to the 'Undo after saving' feature introduced in the version 013. However, we are unable to locate the bug yet. If someone finds a way to reproduce it, please send the report to us.

Bump!

I'm experiencing this bug frequently in v2.008 when editing filter info. Everything works/saves fine until I go to 'Filter > Edit Filter Info' and make changes there. After that, CTRL+S and 'File > Save Filter' don't work anymore. This happens every time I go 'Filter > Edit Filter Info' and make edits there!
