I would love to see this fixed, or else the existing behavior explained/justified with a BIG WARNING in the docs so that people can be prepared.
which docs? while there are docs, i doubt that any BIG FAT WARNING will have the desired effect.
i think the best (and simplest) solution would be to rename the "Save As..." menu to "Save a Copy..." for abstraction-instances (as opposed to top-level-patches).
The GNU program Notepad++ has just such an option, next to Save As...
switching/destroying contexts seems not such a good idea (for an instance-oriented programming language such as Pd).
In the past I vaguely remember this type of behaviour, but just now with Linux and 0.47.1, it behaves as expected for Save As... I should try more platforms... What I saw looked more like a menu bar which was not updated.
@William: What is the platform and Pd-version?
