After Effects project with dynamic links deletes itself (Win > Mac)

Hi there,

 

I discovered a really annoying bug that needs to adressed asap. When I create a Premiere project with Dynamic links in After Effects on a Windows machine and later on open the same project on a Mac, upon saving the After Effects project, it deletes itself. It vanished, literally.

 

Example: I create and work on a project with multiple dynamic links on a windows machine. Later I open the same project on my MacBook, and right click the dynamic link > edit original. Change the composition in AE, hit save and boom! Gone. 

 

When you close out AE you're in bad luck. It;s nowhere to be found. Workaround is to hit 'save as...' 

 

I've read online multiple people running into this problem. This is a serious and known problem and needs to be fixed asap!

YES. SAME VERY ANNOYING ISSUE. Thankfully I have backups but I've got a Premiere Pro project with 30+ dynamically linked after effects comps and it just magically deletes them... Not a cool feature.
