v8.1.22

Not sure if this has been fixed yet, but I found out the hard way that when editing a View without saving (yet) and then adding documentation to the View and Committing the doco addition will reload the View in the editor and thus destroy your unsaved work... 😕 3rd time re-doing this work today, the other time happened when the designer's jxbrowser crashed (which I believe is fixed now in later versions)

Just tested this on v8.1.39 and it undid my changes.
