I suspect that you have been using "
Save As" to save back to the current open project (rather than just using "
Save").
A nasty bug crept in in version 2.2.0 and remained in in 2.2.1 until a user posted on the Forum in late December with this problem.
We have now foxed this for 2.2.2 - which you should download immediately:

Alternatively if you decided to stick with 2.2.1 please always use
File > Save or its shortcut
Ctrl + S to save your existing open project
and
only use
File > Save As to save your project to a different filename.
Sadly I think that your existing flat-lined project is not recoverable.
