Arduino IDE dropping code

I have discovered the Arduino IDE drops code when the screen saver kicks in and locks then the screen. On unlock, my code is gone!!

Ive had it happen several times now and its taken me this long to discover whats going on!

This is a HUGE bug.
Has anyone else had this happen?

EDIT: using ver 2.3.7

Of what? An empty ARDUINO IDE window where my code used to be but now looks like a new sketch window freshly opened?

Sorry for the sarcasm but there is nothing to show you. What do you want to see???

Yes, you obviously know how to replicate it. Show us before and after. Hell, record a video.
