No, there's no known issues. Can you repeat the steps that lose edits? If
you're able to use your browser developer tools network console you will
see that TW5 uses a timeout so that it takes a second from clicking 'done'
until the change ripples all the way back to the server. So I would try to
avoid refreshing the page until you can see your last change appear in the
Node.js console.

Yes. On the TW command line you can use the load command to load the
tiddlers from a single file wiki, and the rendertiddler command to generate
a single file wiki from a wiki folder.

tiddlywiki --load path/to/my/wiki.html --rendertiddler $:/core/save/all
path/to/my/new/wiki.html text/plain

Can you explain the workflow you're after a little more?

Sadly, HTML5 doesn't permit files to be saved in that way; it's only
possible to download them, and as you've found the browser decides what to
call the file.

As noted on tiddlywiki.com, there are two workarounds:

* Use TiddlyFox on Firefox if you can
* Set your browser to prompt you for the file location on each download.
That enables you to manually select your existing file to overwrite it
