Save prompt on close. E6.1b

I’ve just noticed this in E6.

If you save the report and then go to close BO or the report it prompts to save regardless of whether anything has changed. V 5.1.x didn’t do this (nor most every other app I’ve used) and it’s slightly unnerving as I normally use this as an indicator whether anything has changed before closing.

The first couple of times i ended up going back through undo steps to ensure i hadn’t accidentally moved something or hit a formatting button. I’m kind of getting used to it but I wondered if this could be considered a bug, a feature or just plain poor app design!

I know this will be an issue for users when we roll out to them in August (actually more an issue for me as i take all their calls). Is there any way to deal with this or are we stuck with it.

I’ve also noticed that with 6.1a. At first it freaked me out. Now, it still does :wink: A pain!

Wow! I thought I was seeing things. It took me by surprise. Glad to see everyone else is noticing.

So Norty, you mentioned it first. You have to search the bug list for it and if it isn’t reported yet, it is your responsibility :wink:

So can someone point me in the direction of said ‘Bug List’ :wink:

Go to “Registered Support Contacts” at www.techsupport.BusinessObjects.com (requires maintenance contract), the bug list is somewhere on the right once you are logged in.

Would somebody else like to give this a try as they’ve just told us our maintenance has expired (2nd time in 2 months!!) and are going to look into it.
