Image adjustments are spontaneously resetting back to as opened

In the last 4 days, it has happened at least 4 times where I have made significant adjustments to an image in Camera Raw - on the Edit panel, a bunch of masks, cropping, created snapshots - the works... and the image just spontaneously resets itself to previous settings. I cannot say 100% but I think it has reset them to the settings that were there when it was last opened. The snapshots even disappeared. It is definitely not user error - I am not hitting anything that is causing this to happen and I cannot Command+Z to undo it. I haven't yet pinpointed exactly what tab I am on when it happens. Has anyone else experienced this?

    When does this spontaneous resetting take place, while the file is still open in Camera Raw or after you have closed it? This I have to admit is a new one for me.

    While the file is still open… which is why I said I haven't yet pinpointed exactly what tab I am on when it happens.

    Sorry but I have never seen this happen and can't imagine the reason. Let's hope someone wiser chips in.
