I looked at the Autosave sources on github and found this in the save timer:

procedure TAutoSave.OnTimer(Sender: TObject);
begin
  if Settings = nil then
  begin
    if LazarusIDE <> nil then //wait until IDE startup
    begin
      Settings :=
TSettings.Create(AppendPathDelim(LazarusIDE.GetPrimaryConfigPath) +
cAutoSaveConfigFile);
      FTimer.StopTimer;
      FTimer.Interval := Settings.AutoSaveInteval*1000;
      FTimer.StartTimer;
    end;
  end
  else
  begin
    if Settings.EnableAutoSave then
      LazarusIDE.DoSaveAll([sfDoNotSaveVirtualFiles, sfCanAbort,
sfQuietUnitCheck]);
  end;
end;

So it calls LazarusIDE.DoSaveAll, which means that somehow whan DoSaveAll
Lazarus itself fails to save the project file itself....

Can this be fixed?
