I was thinking about the idea of automatic save in place, and it occurred to me there could be a problem.
Suppose the user wants to move some content from one place in a document to another. A typical way to do this would be to cut the content from the original location and paste it in the new location. But suppose the document is autosaved between the cut and paste, and the app or system crashes before the next autosave. Would the content then be lost, and would the user even know? I know that autosave cannot prevent all data loss, but this seems potentially more serious than losing a bit of typing. Does anyone try to deal with this potential problem? Are there other scenarios of a similar nature?
