When opening a form file, the editor window opens with the Java code and it appears with an "*" inidicating that the file has been modified. If I close the editor I am asked if I want to change this file, but I have made no edits to it, so I am puzzled as to why I was asked. This is a problem when using source control, since CVS (for example) will mark the file as "locally modified" if I save the file just to get the save dialog out of my way.
Form code generator may produce slightly different code between builds due to changes in formatting implementation (e.g. indentation engine) or properties settings in options. Form opened in the same build as it was saved should not be marked modified. However, you need not save the form if you did no changes - meaning of the source code should be same (if generated parts were not modifed externally). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 5957 ***
Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
