[Code Node Bug] ERASES and OVERWITES your code

[BryceClaudin]

Bug Description

Two code nodes. One of the nodes code get "overwritten" by the other. Not just a visual bug, when you press save, it overwrites the code.

If you don't notice this and catch it, you will lose your code. Thankfully, I could go to executions, to find an older version of my code to restore it.

See Video

To Reproduce

Don't know exact cause. I have been building out MANY workflows the last couple days. But it was only after I used the "ctrl + F" to find and replace all, this bug started happening. It only does it on the nodes I used "ctrl + F" on it seems. Happened across 3 different workflows.

Expected behavior

Your code will be overwritten and erased by the neighboring node.

Hey @BryceClaudin,

It happens even if I restart browser. Haven't tried restarting server.

To reproduce it looks like you have to change nodes using the little node icons on the side of the screen, For now I would recommend going back to the canvas and selecting the code node instead of using the little navigation icons this will prevent the issue from happening.
