Losing my Teststep changes

Hi,
I was changing my existing soapUI-tests (I added some JDBC-teststeps and assertions) when suddenly SoapUI reacted strangely. A black screen appeared and disappeared and the changing from one tab to another tab in SoapUI became slow. There were just 3 programs running on my computer and everything seemed normal in my taskmanager.
Therefore I saved my project, stopped SoapUI and even restarted my computer.
After SoapUI restarted, I couldn't find any of the changes I made. It was like SoapUI never wrote them on my disk. There wasn't even a backup file (the backup preference is activated).

Has anybody already had this problem? Or knows what to do about it (besides saving every 5 minutes and hoping that you only lose the changes of the past 5 minutes)?
Thanks in advance

    I concur!
    Same thing happened to me a few times and tonight was the last straw and needed to complain somewhere.
    It seems when SoapUI is open for an extensive period of time - I deal with the following:

    1. Renaming a property value doesn't get renamed. Usually closing and reopening the property works, tonight it didn't.
    2. Saving the project when resources seemed to be getting drained for some reason DIDN'T save my project changes.

    Seems SoapUI doesn't work well with Memory

    Hi guys,

    if you stumble into this again - could you please check the error-log at the bottom of the soapUI window and send us any error information you might have there !?

    thanks!
