Anybody know why this (source files acting odd) happens?

I was going to come here for help on a typical C++-related problem (here's a hint: it was about recursion), which I'll post later tonight. Guess I've got another problem now. Apologies if this isn't a 'real' C++ problem, but I've run into it enough, I've just about had it.

When I "Save Project As" in Dev-C++, I at times get a Source file (.cpp) looking like this:

This is the actual code for starput2.cpp. How/Why/Wherefore does this happen?

Erdrigard: The fix is to not use Dev-C++. Instead use wxDev-C++ or another alternative such as Code::Blocks or Eclipse.

Thanks. I had an idea it might simply be a Dev-C++ problem.
