Its to be the same as MS Word! ;-) MSWord asks if you want to
save the file even if its a readonly file and you did nothing
but read it!
Being serious, it sounds like an auto-saved file that was
produced as a backup is being automatically reloaded. Perhaps
you need to investigate the cause of the corruption, fix it,
save the fixed document and destroy any other files.
Sometimes, when a corruption occurs it can lurk around in a
document like a dormant virus and only pops up when you try to
edit at or near the corruption. In the past I've chopped out
a whole chunk of a document and exported the suspect chunk as
plain text to re-import it into the fixed document.
