 * If you spend too long editing a file then try to save, it won’t save. It just
   hangs.
    To avoid losing all your hard work, there is a workaround. CTRL-A to 
   select all content in the editing window, CTRL-C to copy to paste buffer. Reload
   the page (this will lose your edits so be sure you did the copy). The editor 
   will reset with no open file, so open the file you were editing. CTRL-A to select
   the entire contents. CTRL-V to paste in the edited contents, overwriting the 
   file. Do a save and your edits are back.
