iOS Question Code unexpectedly reverts to an earlier version!

In the last day I've suddenly run into a weird problem in my B4i IDE. If I make a number of edits and then save, a few minutes later everything will revert back to the code that existed before the edits, without me doing a thing. When I first make the edits, the green stripe to the right of the edited line numbers changes to yellow. It changes to all green when I save or run. But then when it all reverts back, the stripe is totally yellow.

I swear that this has all started only after installation of B4i v6.30. I've never had an effect like this in all my years of B4A/B4i use. I've played with AutoSave and AutoBackup, and the problem is still there. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm going crazy right now trying to get work done.

(Note: This happens in the Main module, which has about 20,000 lines. Any possibility this size has something to do with it?)

Is it possible that the project is open in multiple IDEs?
No. It's just me here, and I definitely have only one instance of the IDE open. Curiously enough, even if I save the project before it reverts, and then close the IDE, upon opening the project the code will again revert after a few minutes! Strangest thing I've ever seen.

UPDATE: This morning, I still had the problem. Every time I saved some changed code, it would revert back on its own (with totally yellow stripe on the entire code in the module) within 30-60 seconds. So then I restarted my laptop to see if it would have any effect. Bingo, it seems to have fixed it. No more reversion of code after saving it.

If this occurs again, I'll add to this thread. The fact remains though that somehow B4i was put into this strange state ...
