3054	Revert from previous unclear	Francesco Casella	Adeel Asghar	"When trying to save a syntactically wrong model in OMEdit, an error window pops up with the following text:

""Problems are found in Modelica Text. Please check the Message Browser for more error specific details"". This is perfectly clear.

""For normal users it is recommended to choose Revert from previous. You can also choose Fix errors manually if you want to fix them by your own."". This is totally unclear, confusing and not up to the point.

The most important issue is that it is not at all clear that if you press Revert from previous, you '''lose all your work since the last time you saved''' - so, this shouldn't be the default anyway. Second, who are ""normal"" user? Are they ""abnormal"" if they are not normal? :)
Third, of course you have to fix errors manually, there is no such thing as automatic error fixing - discarding the previous hour of work or so is a rather extreme way of fixing errors...


Suggestions: 
- Change the second sentence to: ""You cannot save syntactically wrong 
  Modelica code. If you cannot find the source of the error, you can 
  always revert to the last saved version.""
- Put the ""Fix error manually"" to the left and make it the default 
  choice (no harm is done with this choice!)
- Change the text of the other button to ""Revert to last saved 
  version"" (note that the correct English is ""revert to"", not ""revert 
  from"", despite what other tools claim)
  
It would also be useful to give the user a third option, namely to ""Temporarily save and fix later"" - in this case, the previously saved text is not changed, and the new text can be stored in a tool-specific annotation."	defect	closed	high	1.9.4	OMEdit	trunk	fixed
