Wow, I just reproduced the problem in TextEdit. It looks like the beach ball does not happen immediately, but possibly after auto save chimes up. I’ve seen this happen previously, but never figured out the Steps to Reproduce.

It is definitely one of the more serious NSDocument bugs I’ve seen since Auto Save was introduced in Lion. > I tried doing the same thing in Pages 5.1 and Numbers 3.1, and both of them > handle it by silently closing the first document once the user confirms > they’d like to replace the existing document.

Cool :) > I take it this is something I need to write code to deal with manually? Unless some kind soul who has already found a workaround replies, I would advise against going down the NSDocument rabbit hole. Clear-cut and reproducible bugs like this are great for Technical Support Incidents. Ask Apple to provide the workaround which is apparently used in Pages and Numbers. If I didn’t have other tasks to complete today, I think I’d file one just out of curiosity. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
