Description

OS: Windows 10
DrRacket 7.1 (not sure)

Sometimes DrRacket crashes while editing a file. Afterwards the file is completely gone even though it has been saved before. This happened multiple time on a computer of a friend of mine who is currently learning programming using racket.

Currently all I have is this photo of the stack trace preseneted after the crash:
f7252664-fdd8-4758-94df-ca9e5e67b451

It's really frustrating to lose many hours of work, especially while still learning and not yet familliar with version controll systems etc.

Research direction

The payload names no source file, test, or entry point. Start by reproducing the crash on Windows 10 with DrRacket 7.1 and reviewing the linked stack-trace image; done means a previously saved file remains available after an autosave-related crash.
