Description Chris Smith CLA 2016-06-13 07:53:31 EDT 
The REVERT command is cannot be undone, this can lead to. Lot of work being lost if you accidentally click it prior to saving. Especially as it is right next to the Save All command under the File menu.

There should either be an option to undo the changes or it should pop up a confirmation box in order to continue.

Chris, 
I do not understand which revert you refer. 
Can you make a concrete example ?
Comment 2 Chris Smith CLA 2016-06-16 05:23:04 EDT 
Under the "File" menu, there is a "Revert" option right below "Save All".

I am using:

Version: Neon Milestone 3 (4.6.0M3)
Build id: 20151112-1256

If you accidentally hit the Revert option there is no possibility to undo this action, so all work carried out since the last save or commit is lost.
Comment 3 Patrik Suzzi CLA 2016-06-17 05:27:08 EDT 
This seems fixed in Neon (4.6) RC4a
Build id: I20160606-1100

Please note: 
1. Revert replaces the content of the active editor with the previously saved content. 
2. This is the same as Bug 431507 and related to Bug 152096
Comment 4 Patrik Suzzi CLA 2016-06-17 08:16:30 EDT 
Closing as Worksforme in 4.6 

Please, re-open if you think there are things to fix.
