Auto Save

Hi,

I periodically encounter the very annoying phenomenon that the Auto Save pop-up window is taking the screen focus as I'm typing, and some letters or even words are lost if the operation takes longer (large file). I think, Auto Save should take place silently in the background, just like in other apps (eg. MS Office). 

Then the cursor returns to the target sergment where I was, so I don't have the problem mentioned by someone before (cursor placed elsewhere).

Thanks for any ideas (or fixing this in an upcoming update).

  • I am now also getting the same: a pop-up window that takes the focus for a couple of seconds. I recently played with the settings to set AutoSave to 5 minutes. Prior to that, I don’t exactly remember whether AutoSave was on or off. However, I kind of remember seeing a blue bar regularly running in the status bar, which might have been AutoSave. Furthermore, I have recovered “more recent versions automatically recovered” after crashes, so I would imagine that some kind of autosaving option was running.

    This pop-up window is annoying enough for me to consider not using AutoSave. As Tamás mentioned, you’d expect that to run in the background…

    I’m using 2019 SR2 on a pretty fast computer (no hardware changes prior to the pop-up windows) running the latest Win10. I am indeed saving to Dropbox (nothing new there either), but still, locally on a M.2 drive.
