Yes - that is what I have been doing to see where the effect kicks in.
Whether the Symbols/Documents tabs is open or not does not seem to have any effect - the blackout effect is easily triggered by doing a save regardless.
The fact that I am reusing the same names over and over again might be part of the problem. If helpful I could construct a more meaningful example using unique names?
