It is not clear what you think happened. It seems that more than one thing did not transpire as you expected, since abandoning an edit, the presumed cause of the shutdown without saving warning, and the attempt to open a file already in use are different events. Then how did you ascertain that, in fact, GnuCash did not save. What, exactly did it not save? Did you allow sufficient time for GnuCash to actually complete the entire shutdown? Sometimes it takes a really long time to shut down. For example, when Linux decides to put some of GnuCash's virtual RAM onto hard drive swap space, it may take over a minute for the OS to recover and close the open file.
