I'd like to add my opinion. I think that the actual behavior is the most safe for my needs. It often happens to me that the notebook hangs on some complex calculation (sometimes it's just my fault!), and "interrupt" doesn't necessarily get me back the control of the notebook. Sometimes I can switch back to the home page and then get the notebook at the very same point where I was before the problem. So my point is that, in my opinion, getting the worksheet automatically saved each time a cell is modified or added, is a good thing (for me at least), and I'd like to keep this as an option, at least, if you decide to change the standard behavior. So, would be possible to keep a backup of the worksheet (when we open it), and then start working on the original worksheet, and then restore the original copy, if and only if the user decide to "discard" the changes? I know this is not really the standard way software are designed, but this seems to make sense to me.
