PhpStorm wipes off files (leaving them blank) on power failure
Hey folks. I've been using PhpStorm for a while now since it's awesome. The only downside I have stumbled upon, and I consider extremely unacceptable is that most of the time, when a power failure occurs, some of your opened files will get its content wiped. The file would end up completely blank. I tried opening it on other editors and appears blank as well. Besides that, the configuration files are sometimes erased too, I even have to reconfigure the IDE's appearance completely again.
This has only happened to me with PhpStorm. I'm using Elementary OS (based on Ubuntu). It happened to me in Windows 7 as well. I really love the IDE and don't want to move to other because of this.
Thanks for your time.

Hello,
Were you able to restore the file from Local History?
In general, it is related not to PhpStorm but to Linux journaled ile systems. You can find more details here: <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-95315>.
As for Windows, there was an issue with settings lost on BSOD but this should be fixed in PhpStorm 2016.1. Do you still face this behavior with the latest version?
