Autosaved saving wrong project

Hard one to diagnose, but some very odd behavoir messed me up yesterday.

 

Loaded into my project, this morning, only to be told the project was damaged. S* happens, ok go to the autosave vault, many of which were damaged too. Thinking this might be an issue with my HDD, only versions from yesterday had problems. The really odd bit however is that some of the autosaves were for the wrong project.

 

Titled: Jane

Open that one: John opens

 

John was a project I was working on the day before, as was Jane, but why would it be saving the wrong project into an autosave for a different project?

 

Might be wroth PP looking into in case there are other people this is happening to.

    If you have files that suggest that PPro is auto-saving projects to the wrong name, we would very much like to better understand that behavior; it'd be a first, after years of auto-saving.

    Thanks Bruce, quite possible that I had several projects open at one time, but the autosave should preserve the saved project name, rather than saving one projects name into a different projects name. 

     

    These files were in the autosave vault, and displaying my names, so I think the recovery project moniker would be incorrect, but not impossible

    Auto-saves only ever happen to open projects. You had the "wrong project" open at some point, yes?

    Also...PPro gives recovery projects a different name; is it possible that the "wrong" project was a recovery project?

    I should add, this is in the latest version of PP 24.5.0
