[Bug]: Opening a second workflow replaces the content in the first tab

[ClearPlume]

App Version

0.6.0

Expected Behavior

Each tab maintains its own independent workflow. Switching between tabs should display the workflow that was originally opened in that tab.

Actual Behavior

Tab A displays workflow B's content after opening B in a new tab.

The app shows that A was "auto-saved", but the file is not actually overwritten at this point. Pressing Ctrl+Z can restore A's original content.

However, if any edit is made in tab A (while it displays B's content), auto-save triggers and overwrites A's file with B's content, causing data loss.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open workflow A in a tab
2. Open workflow B in a new tab
3. Switch back to the tab for A
4. Observe tab A's content

Hi @ClearPlume! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the desktop team.

This bug isn't tracked or fixed in the desktop app, and it's not mentioned in the official documentation or changelogs. The desktop app itself doesn't manage tab or workflow state—those are handled entirely by the ComfyUI frontend (web UI), not the Electron shell. There are related discussions about workflow saving/loading and tab/session persistence, but nothing directly matches this issue or documents a workaround or fix for it [source 1] [source 2] [source 3].

To avoid data loss until this is addressed upstream, consider disabling auto-save, saving workflows under unique names, or working with fewer tabs. You may want to keep an eye on the ComfyUI frontend repository for updates related to tab/workflow isolation.

To reply, just mention @dosu.

Does this still happen? I am not able to reproduce it.
