Saving while creating a setup throws away the setup

This kind of behavior is really terrible. If you create a new setup but don't finish the creation (i.e. don't click OK), then save (which I tend to do out of habit), Fusion throws away the setup, as if you had hit Cancel.

 

A lot of work goes into creating a setup, and it's easily lost. No warning, no undo, just gone.

@JetForMe - Thank You for posting this question. I think I understand your question. For clarity, can you do a Screencast to show your workflow?

Wow, I had a hard time making the screen cast! Every time I saved, Fusion and the screencast app locked up for almost a full minute (I think our network connection is being very slow right now). Interestingly, it kept recording the whole time, so I had to edit out a whole lot of nothing. Anyway, I finally got a demonstration.

 

Note that you can't always type Command-S to save. Like, it doesn't work the first time you create the setup, but if you OK and the re-open the setup for edit, you can do it.
