I cannot reproduce it.
Did you try with extensions disabled code --disable-extensions?
Sorry the steps were listed based on vague recollection after I decided to contribute much later on a whim so are not 100% accurate, even w/ the flag I wouldn't know how to reproduce in exact same manner again (was hoping the err msg was suffice to implement a check for if file is missing & title starts w/ 'Untitled-' then trigger Save As not Save)
Potentially changes were discarded using context menu of VS Code or GitHub Desktop or both, or copy/replace was using same code not different (but the check would solve both cases)
I am unable to reproduce this issue. Looks like the issue is resolved. Feel free to open another issue if this continues to occur.
Consider reproducing this issue with code --disable-extensions as recommended above.
I doubt it's resolved if no one confirmed reproducing it so not sure why you closed it
Re: repro, I don't understand why you don't just do it yourselves as paid employees instead of pressuring volunteer ontributors to sacrifice more of their unpaid time
Why not just check for if file is missing & title starts w/ 'Untitled-' then trigger Save As not Save as mentioned, it's a good defensive coding practice even (bug which is not resolved plus future ones will be prevented)
