Power Dataflow editor : frequent error "you are not viewing the latest version of the query"

[FireFighter1017]

Lately, I'm getting more and more of this message while editing Power Query scripts in Dataflow editor.

I refresh the page and I usually can reload changes from cache.

But I'm worried when I see this messsage that maybe some changes weren't saved to cache and I might have to redo eveything.

Can I get an explanation on why this message is showing up in the first place?  Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

I usually get that when I'm renaming a query step somehow...

Thanks @Anonymous ,

It is kind of an intermittent issue so I'm not able to reproduce it.

If I ever figure out the context, I'll post it here.

But my message was more asking if is this something known or am I victim of our own infrastructure.  Know what I mean? 😉

Thanks
