Content of Blocks - old an new in the same block

Hello all,

 

I've got a very weird problem with AutoCAD blocks. I'm working on a drawing and edit a block, e.g. I'm adding lines, stretch the content of the block or just move some parts of the block. Everything looks perfect when I save the block. Then I'm working on other blocks on the drawing and after a while, I'm returning to the block and look at it - and I see that the content of the block shows the block in the state before I changed it AND after my changes. When I open the block via refedit or block editor, lines and objects are duplicated - it really looks like time travelling. I got the block before I changed it and after I changed it in the same block. I have to wipe out the doubled lines with the command overkill and I have to check the objects and lines I changed and delete the old state.

This can happen several times a day. I can't figure out when it happens or what causes the "duplicating time travel". I didn't even know AutoCAD would store old block definitions somewhere and not overwrite them when the new one is saved.

I have no idea what could possibly cause this effect. I can't repeat it, it just happens. Sometimes I'm closing the drawing thinking everything is fine on Friday and when I open it on Monday I get duplicates in the blocks. 

This doesn't happen in all drawings, but when it starts it will happen again. 

 

Has anybody ever had the same issue or the slightest idea what could cause this behavior?

 

Thanks in advance for your help,

 

Regards
