Description

If you edited a source that needs formating it looks like the formatter does not save or does not remove the dirty-flag. The result is that you have to save again to run a test. (RIDE v2.0b1 on Python 3.8.10 Ubuntu 20.04)

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in RIDE v2.0b1 on Python 3.8.10 and Ubuntu 20.04 by editing source that needs formatting and invoking auto-format. Trace the auto-format save and dirty-flag behavior; done means formatting saves the source and clears the dirty flag so a test can run without a second save.
