You are editing master-1.bib. The text file you edited in step 4 is just some auxiliary text data, that only exists in memory, it is not associated with a document in the sense of the document architecture, so it is also not savable data. After you have chose Reopen, it is saved to a .bib file which you then edit in the usual way, associated to a document that can be saved.
