alice-teacher Bug reported on attempt to Open Alice 3 World

[Susan Rivas]

When that happened to one of my students, she opened a backup copy, that Alice automatically generates, and it worked instead of the original file.

I am not sure why, but it seemed to solve the problem of it crashing and losing work. If they began working on an Alice project and waited to save their world after they had done some work there were issues.

I have a few students working on projects who have worked on a world and have saved their work incrementally, only to not be able to save their world later and then not be able to open it the next time they attempt to.
