LyX ⇒ Bug Lyx 2.2.2 saving .lyx file

[Ben8686]

Hi,

I installed the Lyx version 2.2.2. Before I used the 2.1.3 version. Now I have trouble saving the .lyx file. The error message says:
LyX: Backup failure.
Cannot create backup file "THE PATH WERE I WANT TO SAVE IT". Please check whether the directory exists and is writable.

It certainly exists and is writable because I just created this file 1min ago for test purposes. Instead it saves the file under a alternative name such as:
Wanted: test.lyx
Actual: test-qr6264.lyx

I tried to use the backup directory, however if I use it all the "\" are converted to "!" which does not help the problem in identifying the correct path.

Thanks for your help guys.

I don't think I've heard of this problem before. What operating system is this? What file system are you using? Can you try in different locations? (e.g. if on Windows different drives).
