I've got an installation of PCB Editor that will open a design, but then will immediately auto-save and close. Immediately after loading the design, it says
Auto saving before quitting, please wait...." and then closes. I don't see any error messages and it doesn't seem to be crashing. It's just Auto-Saving. An AUTOSAVE.BRD file is created. Weirdly, if I go into User Preferences-->File_Management-->Autosave, the autosave option is not checked.
It happens on multiple designs, some that have previously worked. It seems a bit random. My workaround has been to keep opening other designs until I get one that stays up, then I can go to recently opened designs menu and open the previously shutting down design without issue.
This was happening on my v17.2 S001 installation, so yesterday, I updated to S038, hoping it would solve the problem. The first design I opened had no issue, so I thought I was good to go. However today, I tried to open that same design and it encountered this issue. I then found a design that opened and used my workaround. As a test, I closed the problem design and opened the one that just got me in again and that design encountered the issue. I'm at a bit of a loss as to what's going on. Does anyone have any suggestions or troubleshooting I can go through?
Thanks.
