Hi,
Go to Sigil preferences and turn off all use of pretty-print and tidy even on save.
Repeat trial with exact same mistake, no editing and pasting into jedit, and see if the same failure occurs. If so, post that incorrect file for me so that I can recreate the error.
Do not try editing in jedit and pasting back into Sigil. That will cause issues with the book view not being in sync withthe CodeView depending on which mode you pasted things back in.
Please let us know what you find out.

I had stopped using 7.4 because of its penchant for eating files but when I saw that people were working on it again, I thought I'd give it another shot because I really like the program. But just to be safe I am keeping a copy of each file in jEdit, saved in another place.
I had finished a file, saved the book and started a new file. finished the new one and copied it. Went to jEdit, clicked New file, pasted it in, and bam, jEdit throws up an error notice; not in the new file but the previous one.
The error was <pclass="bot">. Corrected and saved it, then went back to Sigil to make the correction there. But Sigil had deleted everything from and including that error up to </body>, about half the file. At no time did Sigil give me any kind of error notice.
Files created by Sigil end thusly:
</body>
</html>
When it eats part of a file, that changes to:
</body></html>
I sincerely wish all error-checking would be removed from Sigil. It's not that smart, it's not that helpful, and it's somewhere in the error checking that this bug is lurking. I very strongly suspect during save. |
