Hi, this is by intention. One should always be able to save the file. Other editors handle that similarly.
(In reply to Christoph Cullmann from comment #1) Hi, OK so you've intrigued me and I did a quick search, for the record (some of these have only menu, though): GNOME text editor, Xed - do not change icon state Mousepad, Geany, Qt Creator, FeatherPad - do change icon state LibreOffice - do not change icon state, but change icon itself adding little red dot at corner Perhaps the latter is the optimal solution. Never used M$ products, though. Anyway, as I sad, it is more a distraction than anything else.

This Is a pretty much a bug - We have ended up with a rather cluttered an non intuitive UI. The problem is the state of save and the save button are in two different places. I see that the loaded state is indicated in the document tree by a save icon by the file name - but clicking on it does not save. So there are now 3 places where one sees the save icon - on the tool bar - just under the tool bar (document bar) and in the document tree. If you are going to put the icon next to the file name - it should work to save as well. The other save buttons are not intuitive as to WHICH file they are saving ( some might thing them a save-all)..
