👋 Thank you for opening this issue!

Summary: The user reports that pasting a specific network diagram XML (containing Cisco shapes, swimlanes, and VLAN zones) into draw.io via the Extras menu leads to data loss when saving, but critical details about the environment, storage backend, and exact failure behavior are missing to diagnose the issue.

---

📝 Additional Information Needed

To help us investigate this more effectively, could you please provide:

• Environment: Which platform are you using? (app.diagrams.net web version, draw.io Desktop, Confluence plugin, etc.) Which browser and OS?
• Storage backend: Where are you saving the file? (Local device, Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, GitHub, etc.)
• Actual behavior / error details: What exactly happens when you 'lose your work'? Does the file become empty, corrupted, revert to an older version, fail to open, or something else? Are there any error messages?
• Expected behavior: What did you expect to happen after saving?
• Steps to reproduce: You mention pasting XML via 'extra menu' — do you mean Extras > Edit Diagram (XML)? After pasting and clicking OK, what specific steps lead to data loss? Does it happen immediately, after closing and reopening, or at some later point?
• draw.io version: If using the desktop app, which version? If using the web app, when did this start happening?
• Reproducibility: Can you reproduce this reliably every time with this specific XML, or is it intermittent? Does it happen with other diagrams too?

We also have some questions:

• When you say 'lost your work ANYTIME', do you mean the file becomes empty/corrupted after saving, or that you cannot reopen the file later?
• Are you pasting this XML via Extras > Edit Diagram? Does the diagram render correctly after pasting?
• Where is the file being saved — locally on your device, or to a cloud storage provider like Google Drive or OneDrive?
• Have you tried exporting the diagram as a .drawio file and reopening it to see if the data persists?
• Does this issue happen only with this specific XML, or have you experienced it with other diagrams as well?

- draw.io version: [e.g., web app / desktop 24.x.x / Confluence plugin]
- Browser (if web): [e.g., Chrome 120, Firefox 121]
- OS: [e.g., Windows 11, macOS 14, Ubuntu 22.04]

**Steps to Reproduce:**
1. Go to ...
2. Click on ...
3. See error

**Expected Behavior:**
What you expected to happen.

**Actual Behavior:**
What actually happened.

**Screenshots/Files:**
If applicable, add screenshots or attach the .drawio file.

That's not valid XML, not sure what your point is? If you want to post a constructive issue, you're welcome to, but this just looks a like rant that nobody understands.

Summary: The user reports that pasting a specific network diagram XML (containing Cisco shapes, swimlanes, and VLAN topology elements) into draw.io via the Extras menu causes silent data loss — saves appear to succeed but work is lost at some point. This appears to be a resubmission of previously closed issue #5569 by the same author.

This issue might be related to existing issues:

🔴 #5569 - WORK LOST ANYTIME WITHOUT ADVICE PASTING THIS XML
This is the exact same issue title, same author (scintilla13), and same XML content — this appears to be a duplicate resubmission of a previously closed issue.

Please check if any of these address your issue. If this is a duplicate, we may close this issue and continue the conversation there.

📝 Additional Information Needed

To help us investigate this more effectively, could you please provide:

• Environment: Which platform are you using? (app.diagrams.net web version, draw.io Desktop, Confluence plugin, etc.) Which browser and OS?
• Storage location: Where are you saving the file? (local device, Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, browser storage, etc.)
• Actual behavior details: What exactly happens when you 'lose work'? Does the file become empty, corrupt, revert to an older version, or fail to open? Are there any error messages at any point?
• Steps to reproduce more clearly: You mention pasting XML via 'extra menu' — do you mean Extras > Edit Diagram (XML editor)? After pasting, what specific sequence of actions leads to data loss? Does the diagram render correctly after pasting?
• Expected behavior: What did you expect to happen vs. what actually happened?

We also have some questions:

• When you say 'WORK LOST ANYTIME WITHOUT ADVICE', do you mean the file silently loses its content at some unpredictable point, or that saves appear to succeed but the file is empty/corrupted when reopened?
• Can you confirm you're pasting the XML via Extras > Edit Diagram? Does the diagram display correctly immediately after pasting?
• Where are you saving the file (Google Drive, local disk, browser storage)? If browser storage, are you using incognito/private mode or clearing browser data?
• Does this happen with other XML content, or only with this specific XML? Have you tried exporting the file after pasting and verifying the exported file is valid?
