This is really strange, I also got the same problem a couple of weeks
ago. I imgaine that you are working with a 50 image.
We may have introduced a regression. As a general principle I tried to
publish often.
Now you can also get in this situation when you open twice the same
image and do parallel edits.
Can you open your change file with emacs and see a bit the code?

Hello,
I would just like to report something that happened to me today.
As I was working on a project, I tried inserting an instance variable
to one of my classes.
Starting from this moment something became very weird. First, some
subclasses were not listed as subclasses anymore, then I realised
during the execution that allocating my new instance variable was
actually modifying another instance variable.
I tried digging up a bit and I found out that many of my methods were
a complete mess.
When browsing with Nautilus the title of the method was for example:
"addProperty:key:". However the corpse of the method was totally
random with something like that for example:
"ient;
width: 1.
graphic strokeStyle: _strokeStyle"
So, reportedly, the name of the method was "ient;" ...
Basically I had many methods where the source code was just random
chunks of other methods.
The funnier thing is that everything worked perfectly fine during
execution.
I tried to look at different backup images I had to see when
everything began to go wrong and I realised I had been working with
broken source code for about a week.
So if I understand correctly, I probably messed up with the .changes
file (I don't remembr how but maybe I copied the .image without the
.changes or renamed the .image or i don't know).
And now the compiled code is okay but the source code is lost so
everything is working fine until the system tries to recompile
everything ?
Now my question is : is there a way to fix the issue ? I tried
exporting the package to a .mcz but I had bugs everywhere. I imported
the old working package to an .mcz and tried browsing the differences
with the broken one just to manually get back eveything I changed
during this week. But I couldn't cause there were bugs everytime I
tried to browse the changes. Basically, are all my changes definitely
lost or is there a way to get it back somehow (at least the raw source
code) ?
I know that I fucked up and this is my fault but it would have been
nice if something (anything) told me earlier that I did something
wrong. I've been adding / modifying lots of methods and even executing
the program for a week now and absolutely nothing told me that
something was wrong until I tried adding an instance variable.
I am in a situation where I actually wrote and "saved" code and now it
seems lost... that's frustrating :(
Thanks,
Matthieu
