Description
Issue: All content within an open Ink file gets erased, seemingly at random.
The Undo button doesn't do anything, so it appears that the file is being overwritten somehow?
Notes:
-
Windows 11
-
Using Inky 0.15.1 mainly.
-
This is part of a fairly large project that uses Unity (2022.3.24f1) integration and Perforce for version control. However, I'm the only person on the project experiencing this bug.
-
I've been using Inky for years, this is the first time I've experienced this. (Though I am on a new computer now).
Things I've tried:
- Restarting computer.
- Avoiding editing Ink files while the game in playing in Unity.
- Reverting to a previous version of Inky that others on the team use.
- Ensuring I have permission to edit the files in Perforce/Ensuring Ink files are properly checked out.

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is identified in the report. Start by reproducing the overwrite in Inky 0.15.1 on Windows 11, including the Unity integration and Perforce setup, while checking when the file changes. Done means identifying the trigger and preventing open Ink content from being erased or overwritten.
