You do not need to save a document, it is saved automatically.

As a result, your extra save made an extra copy.

This should occur if you use the Keep button, which is also anchored to
the key sequence Control/S.

Normally when you stop the Write activity, the document will be saved in
the Journal.

The name used for the journal entry is set in one of two ways:

1.  using the title in the activity tab, which in the case of a resumed
activity is the name of the journal entry it was resumed from, but in
the case of a new activity is the activity name, or

2.  in the "Name this entry" dialog, which only appears if you have not
set a title in the activity tab for a new activity.

They are separate journal entries, and you only asked to delete one of
them, so I don't see why the journal should delete the other!

Journal entries are not unique by name.  You may think they should be if
you have only experienced other operating systems, but with Sugar the
journal entry is unique by event.

What you have described in this thread is normal behaviour.  It is
common to be confused by it.
