Alternatively, you could use a nightly build where this should also be fixed already.
You can download them from here:

Thanks for the report. This is a confirmed bug in Octave, see bug #62271. The bug should be fixed in the stable but if you are not compiling octave by yourself, this fix won't come into effect until the release of version 7.2.0.

Until then For now, *please disable the preference "Remove trailing spaces when saving file" in the editor tab of the preferences dialog*.

I am closing this report as duplicate of bug #62271. For the previous discussion or further posts please refer to bug #62271.

I am using windows 11 which may be the issue so please disregard if this isn't happening to anyone else. I have had windows crash trying to move files before.

I went to close a file in Octave(GUI) and it prompted if I wanted to save the file as it was changed before I closed said file. I hit cancel as I forgot what change I made without saving. I remembered shortly after hitting cancel and tried to save the file. Octave froze and I had to force close it. When I reopened the file it was blank (luckily I had a backup of the file).

Windows 11 is far from stable so it could easily be the OS.
