Don't ask to save empty untitled documents
Reported by Martin Frost | December 30th, 2010 @ 05:45 PM
What I did:
I started Kod, toyed around a bit, wrote some text, and then deleted all of it. I then hit ⌘Q.
What I expected to happen:
I expected the program to quit, since I didn't have any open tabs that were changed.
What actually happened:
Kod asked me if I wanted to save the empty, untitled document.

- State changed from “new” to “invalid”
- Tag set to “ux”
This is by design, since the undo manager had a "dirty stack" (recorded changes not cleared or document was saved).
It's designed like this to help this use-case:
- open new document
- write the ultimate, most awesome program ever
- select all
- intend to hit Cmd+C but instead hit backspace and Cmd+W
And similar use-cases when you accidentally removed everything. Most applications work like this.
