This is outright strange ... and could have been a disaster instead of just
a pain in the neck.

I'm redesigning a site.  It's a big site with lots of elements.

Tonight I just completed the new look (all the HTML, etc.) for the home
page. Broke it down into it's component includes.

Then I loaded it up to a server to test.

Then I decided that I really didn't need this group of files in one folder,
so I moved them to another folder.  The files included a filed named
index.cfm. The folder everything was being moved to had a blank file called
index.cfm.

I was asked, are you sure you want to overwright -- yes, I do.

Then when I went back to studio I got asked "your file has been modified by
another process. Do you want to reload it?"  "Yes," I said.  And the file
opened blank.  Some 300 lines -- gone, poof.

At this same moment, CFStudio started eating up 100 percent of the processor
time.

I shut it down.  When I restarted it, I that index.cfm file was still blank.
So I download the copy from the server, but it opened blank, too.  So I
renamed it and downloaded it -- opened blank.  I browsed to file on the
server to confirm that it did indeed have content on it -- it does.  But
every time I download it, it's blank.

I decided I would try restarting the computer.  Fortunately, I thought to
save the source for my page from the browser window it was open in.

I restarted, but that index.cfm page and the version I downloaded and
renamed (and tried again) from the server, they still come up blank.

Fortunately, the source file opens correctly.  I even pasted it into the
index.cfm file that keeps coming up blank and it opens fine now.

BTW: We're talking CFStuido 5.0 on a Win2k machine.
