This came up a year ago in which we were reassured that TeXShop always saves source files before typesetting, so I assume that this is still a bug in macOS. Is this correct?

Howdy,

I never have the dot present, even if I change the file contents. I wonder if you have `Ask to keep changes when closing documents' checked on the General Tab of System Preferences.
