Problem when program attempts to generate backups

[neversaynever]

I find this very disturbing. Can this be fixed?

yes! Save your changes before you open another project.

sometimes, when I think of whether I want to save my project, I think, "Nah. "

[jens]

it would help me debug this issue if you could open an error console when you get this, and show me what's in there. The "Backup failed" dialog pops up when your browser's local storage is full, or when the project you're working on is too big for your browser's local storage. This might be a low-memory situation on your computer, in which some low-level canvas apis also fail. In my personal experience this kind of graphics failure happens more often in Firefox, whereas Chrome usually just crashes the whole tab. From time to time it's good to actually refresh the tab that's running Snap, or - better yet - restart your browser.

Thank you! Investigating....
Can you let me know which browser and OS you're using for this?

[edit:] nevermind, I found a way to reproduce it myself, thanks for the report!

[update:] I've tried to fix this, please let me know if you encounter this - or any other issues
