I'm unable to reproduce this, but I'm concerned to see 3 reports. Could you please let me know which browsers and operating systems you're using. And how long it is between tabbing away and tabbing back, that the content reverrs?
I've tried on Firefox on Linux, and Google Chrome on OS X, but I can't reproduce it.
Does it usually happen immediately after tabbing away and back? Any other details you can remember that might help me reproduce it?

I haven't been coding as frequently as I have in the past, but from what I recall it would happen like described where I would be writing up code unsaved in the code box, switch over to another tab for likely several minutes (like 10+min) then go back and the code would revert. I didn't even realize you can undo to get it back. The last time I was coding was perhaps a month or two ago and I'm using Windows 11 with Firefox.
Actually at one point this forum was doing something pretty similar but I haven't seen it recently.

I am using Chrome, Version 136.0.7103.114 (Official Build) (64-bit). I'm on Windows 11 Enterprise, and our IT keeps our versions and etc fairly up to date. Since you tested on non-Windows systems exclusively, maybe its Windows-specific? Not sure.
Anyway, for me, it happens in about 60 seconds, tops. It is constant for me. If I even so much as click on another tab, say the API reference or another tab that has something else open in LogicMonitor, and I poke around for just a few moments and come back .... my code is gone. I didn't know about Undo either, but I generally don't trust Undo type operations. Especially in situations like this.
So if I even so much as want to throw down a println to see a property coming back from a map response, and I cant remember the name for the property I want to snag, and I pop over to the API to see "oh yeah, its dataSourceId and not dataSourceTemplateId" or whatever .... wham. My code is gone if I'm over on another tab more than just a few seconds.
So I end up commenting and saving on every line or block of code if I need to tab over.

Well of course now that I say it happens in 60 seconds tops, now it doesnt. I'll do some testing to see if I can pin anything down.

I appreciate the honest followup.
I spun up a Windows VM in AWS today, tried Edge, Firefox, and Chrome. Tabbed around, logged in and out (RDP session). Locked the screen and came back. Could not get it to blow any unpersisted changes away.
