Description

We've had two reports of a major but seemingly hard to reproduce bug where the contents of an ink file get wiped out, with no way to undo the operation.

It seems like it has something to do with include files, and possibly to do with copy pasting.

We need to find a solid repro!

In the meantime, we highly recommend committing regularly to source control.
