I can replicate the problem.
Removing the "New file" dialog box seems to fix the problem. (Evidently, this dialog box somehow clears some "update-needed" flags.
Since the "New file" dialog box is a very old vestige, I see no reason
to keep it any way. The status line lists "New file", same as when you
open a non-existent file in VEDIT.
I was thinking of changing such status line messages to a red color.
If people agree to dump the "New file" dialog box, this is a simple fix. Otherwise Tom will need a few hours to figure this one out.
Ted.
