In the last posting of this thread I have reported a serious bug with custom symbols. While exploring that problem, I found another, much less serious bug - but it's still a nuisance:

1. Create a user symbol (via "Save as Symbol..."
2. Open a new diagram
3. Pull in new symbol
The filename of the new model will now be the filename of the symbol, therefore, "Save" (Ctrl-S) will overwrite the symbol. It seems that the internals of the symbol are not overwritten (or I was just lucky), but the "thumbnail" shown in the concept explorer is overwritten. If one has no access to the original symbol file, there is no way to revert to the previous version, which can be quite costly.

Hi Harald
This was fixed in the 1137 builds where if the drawing was empty it would take the name of the symbol.
