Installed v2878 and noticed

Open a chart
Duplicate Chart to Another Chartbook >> Create new chartbook >> Yes
Close current chart
Clicking Save, File >> Save, or File >> Save As do not ask to save the chartbook
>> Expected the Save As dialog to show - could swear this used to work this way.

File >> Save All or Close Cbook command bar button bring up the "Save any changes made to..." dialog


Not a regression from v2877, and I did not install older builds like v2813 to test since I recall that resets the settings that I have in v2813+ for MDI widows/etc.

Are you switching to the new Chartbook before doing this?

So this is probably a really obscure edge case as I first reported above.
If following the steps above precisely, the behavior is as reported.

IF you interact with the chart, like click on it and make it Active, then the Save operations work as expected.
This is definitely not a blocker and has an easy workaround.

Guess the question is, for this duplicated chartbook, with just this single chart...should that chart be Selected/Active by default?

I am happy with whatever Sierra Engineering decides to do around this...including doing nothing.
