Steps to Reproduce:

4. change the file.autoSave from autodelay to off

all will be right

So this only applies to Java files? If you create a a.txt file, the bug doesn't occur?

I suspect this is related to encoding, @alexandrudima should know more.

@TolemyW what does the encoding part on the right side of the status bar say? In the below it's "UTF-8"
