[erlang-questions] IntelliJ, erlang-plugin and disappearing edits

[Bjarne Wichmann Bagge Petersen]

Thx

I've been burned hard by that exact scenario - but this time I am pretty
certain that wasn't it (I don't have the `_build` version open in tab).

But I will try the selective exclude and see how it goes. Thx.

Best regards
