8.1.30 version

I thought maybe it was a temporary thing.  
Seems like everyday, including after a weekend, I am having an overlapping conflict with my own username in the spots I am working.

Anyone seen this before and know a solution?

I only ever see this when I have multiple designers opened. Perhaps you forgot to log out of a workstation, and one of your colleagues is inadvertently working on the project using your credentials?

...there was one time when I opened a designer in a redundant gateway looking for something, and then accidently closed the wrong one out. I became painfully aware of my mistake when the designer alerted me about an unsolved conflict at save.

The only other thing I can imagine is if a designer instance has persisted somehow. Perhaps open your OS's process manager and see if there is an extra zulu platform in the list.

I only have the one workstation.

It seems like the designer instance persists somehow, just one session at a time.  
I never have more than one overlap with myself, so far.
