But if a call to SaveToDisk (such as doing a File->SaveAs) is made during that interval it will incorrectly read from the QTextDocument (which is empty because it was waiting to be loaded!) and writing it to disk resulting in the disappearing file.
Technically it could happen to any text based resource (OPF, XHTML, CSS, etc) but initial loading was always done so all you were losing might have been the difference between it and its cache if anything at all.
So I have made an additional change to try to close that tiny hole in Sigil master so we are not bitten by this. It was the same bug that made font url's not be properly updated in CSS files too.
Thanks to all for reporting the bug so we could get this tracked down.

Kevin,
This sounds like it explains everything I've reported, with the possible exception of the "file jumping" symptom, and that could simply be a resource issue associated with the conflicts you closed.
I can't wait to test 8.5, whenever it's released. Congrats!!!
