Intermittently, the auto-save function of Studio is non-functional. In other words, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. This can be a problem if the recovery file isn’t being created and something happens such as a power outage which can cause a loss of work.

The beta features that I have enabled are as follows:
Notched Screen Support
Notification Overhaul
Updated Docking System
Updated Roblox Controls
As for plugins, I have a bunch that are installed, but very few are enabled. The ones that are enabled are listed below with links to their details page on the Roblox store website:
Hey! It is autosave’s known behavior that if you made no edits in the 5 minute interval, studio will not attempt the save. Can you confirm that you have made changes before studio missed an autosave?
The auto-save seems to have broke around 20:07. The only thing that really changed on the system for Studio in that time frame was opening another Studio session at 20:09 for a different place. As shown, the auto-save was working normally up until then.
I know that the first two are the latest of the sessions in question. I added the others as a just in case. The issue seems to be relatively consistent. It seems that auto-save works right up until a second Studio session is started, then auto-save breaks. This is even after the update yesterday.
It did it again, but I did not open two sessions, so that was just a strange coincidence. However, I did have the window split with different source files open in different panes. I have added new information to the private message for your inspection. The new information consists of a screen shot of the full studio session, and the associated log file.

To my knowledge, there hasn’t been any changes/updates to the plugins. Although the default Roblox plugins are always active. I probably should have put this information in the original report, but it didn’t seem relevant at the time. I have also updated the original report to include this information.
EDIT:
I had another long Studio session, and I had docked/split windows and auto-save worked correctly. At this point, I am unable to correlate any actions that I’m taking that might break auto-save. When I restarted Studio, after the initial post of this, it worked correctly for hours on end. It’s intermittent, which software isn’t. So there’s some condition or conditions that trigger this bug, but I am at a loss as to which ones are doing it.
@GeneralTso58 The auto-save has not failed since the fix was applied a week ago. So at this time, I’m going to mark this as resolved. If it comes up again, I will file a new bug report. Thank you for your time and assistance.
