Why does Power Apps save your app even when you tell it not to?

Hi - I have a published app. I had a play with some syntax to try and get something to work differently. It didn't work, so I exited out of the edit screen. A pop-up asks 'do you want to save your changes?" I clicked "No"... but my change is saved.
Sure I can restore from the previous correct version, but this is dumb. I specifically said don't save my changes, but the changes saved anyway... Please fix.

    Hi @GraemeNZ :

    I suggest you turn off the 'Auto save' function, cause canvas app will save changes every 2 minutes by default.
