Everyone here seems to have a problem saving updates to their files after a run with EPwave. Here's what happens.
Start with a new playground
Enter and save your code until it will run
Run the code and view the EPwave results
Make changes to the code and hit the save button
Wait about a minute unitl the browser barks:"the connection to the server was reset while the page was loading"
Hit the browser's back button to navigate back to the page to find the most recent edits have disappeared
Make the edits again and hit the save button (now the edits are quickly saved)
Run again to see the new results
This is pretty frustrating for everybody. We have tried various browsers. We have tried EPwave in a separate tab. None of these things make any difference. There are two workarounds we have figured out ...
Workaround #1 (make local copies). Hit control-a and then control-c to copy the code to the clipboard before hitting run. Then, a minute later, after getting the server disconnect message, hit the back button then control-a to select everything and then control-v to replace it with the edited text from the clipboard. But this only works if you make changes to one of the files because you can't hold two files worth of changes in the clipboard. And then, of course, there is the frustration of having to wait a minute for the server disconnect message before hitting the back button. Some students actually copy the contents of both files to notepad and then copy it back to the playground on every run.
Workaround #2 (time travel). Hit the back-button and then the forward-button after every run.
I personally only see this behavior when I'm connected to certain networks. Unfortunately, the university network is one of them and it's the one my students use the most. It would be fantastic if this issue were fixable on your side because we've tried everything we can think of to deal with it here.
