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:

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