Description

Repro (on Windows 10)

  • Start MarkRight
  • Open Markdown document
  • Don't change anything
  • Application window title does NOT show a "changed" indicator (*)
  • Close application window
  • Dialog box appears: "There are unsaved changes. Are you sure you want to continue? Your changes will be lost"

If I save the document immediately after opening it, I don't get the message. In general, the handling of the "changed" state seems to work correctly after the first save.
