@Mike
This bit of technical topic. Which needs someone with DEV expertise. I estimate
you might you might now bit more.  

(In reply to Luke Kendall from comment #20)
> This is happening quite frequently. Often the auto save (which I have set at
> 30 mins), triggers a mere two minutes after I last saved the file.
> 
> It seems to especially happen if I save the file when I see auto-save
> trigger in another file I'm working on.  (I sometimes save the other file a
> few minutes before the half hour mark, as a reminder to save my main file.
> But due to this bug, that practice doesn't necessarily save me from being
> held up by an auto-save.)
> 
> This behaviour suggests to me the code makes a check of all open files to
> decide if they need an auto-save.  However, since many minutes can pass
> between computing that check and then executing each auto save, it appears
> the code does not check that a manual save has been performed in the
> meantime.
> 
> Can you at least add a check to avoid an auto-save of a document it it has
> been saved more recently than the auto-save period?  That should fix the
> problem.
