First of all - I love Evernote. But I noticed some worrying behaviour lately on my Mac (also in the Android version, but this is dealt with elsewhere).
I'm working on the latest version of Evernote (6.0.3). I noticed today that when I made a change to one specific note, Evernote refused to save the changes. When I made changes, selected another note and switched back, all changes where gone.
I read in an older post that this happens when there is some kind of "illegal character" in the note, making it impossible for Evernote to save the changes. It then reverts back to the last note. When I checked the Activity logfile I noticed the following contents:

The note consists of some text and an embedded .docx document. I scrolled down the note (moved the cursor below the embedded attachment) and pressed the backspace key, basically removing an empty line below the attachment. Problem solved!
This issue is solved for now, but what I would like to know is why Evernote doesn't warn me when it is unable to save a document. At least a pop up error message or something! I have no clue how many changes I've lost over time because of this strange behaviour.
Can anybody explain to my why this happens (and how this can be resolved)?
