Designer - not saving changes when asked to

I’m coding a LotusScript web-service-provider in the Designer client.

To test this web-service-provider, I have a LotusScript agent.

I’m not able to save any changes (via ‘Ctrl-S’ or ‘Esc’ & ‘Yes’ to ‘Save Dialog’ box) if I have the web-service opened in the Designer client and called up the LotusScript agent via the standard Notes Client.

This is very frustrating as I’m trying to build up and debug the web-service-provider. Saving, quitting the editor is not really something that I want to do - you lose focus on where you were and is time-wasting. Also, if you forget to quit the editor and you have made lots of changes, you have to copy everything into notepad, quit the editor (saying ‘No’ to ‘Save dialog box’), edit the web-service-provider and paste the code back into it …

Is there a fix for this bug?

Subject: It’s a focus problem

I had this issue from time to time and would click over into the client and close a tab or open an address book or something then switch back to Designer and I could save stuff then.

You can wait for 8.5.1, revert back to 8.0.2 or do something like the above when it happens.
