When auto-save is configured to 'Ask' mode in the Environment settings, CaseTalk is expected to prompt the user before saving. However, when the application is not in the foreground (e.g. the user has switched to another application), the confirmation prompt is skipped and files are saved automatically without consent.

This causes two unwanted side effects during the silent save:

• Diagram files that have never been saved are presented with a 'Save As' file dialog, appearing unexpectedly without context.
• Diagram files created in an older version of CaseTalk trigger a stream-upgrade dialog asking whether to upgrade the file format, again with no prior save confirmation.

Both dialogs appear without the user having been given the option to cancel the save, which contradicts the expected behaviour of 'Ask' mode.
