Great app but it currently can't update existing file

By RomanStep (Pcmac user)

I love this app to teach my kid to code. However, as of July 2019 there is still a bug where if you try to save a file with exisitng name (which is the case 99%, that is what we coders do - we make a change and save it, make another change and save it) it warns that the file exists, asks if you want to Cancel or Replace, but if you click Replace it does not actually update the file on file system!!! This lead to so many frustrated lost coding sessions that it spoils the whole great effort people put in this project.
