"Save" action aborted by a subsequent "Save as" action
I'm using Version 25.0 on a Mac with Catalina OS (10.15.7). In all past versions of Illustrator, once you had initiated a "Save", nothing could interrupt that. Now, saves are both slower and interruptible. If I try to "Save" my .AI file, then do my "Save as low-res PDF" action to export a version for clients, the "Save as low-res PDF" action will cancel the "Save" if it's not yet complete. And there is no indication that this has happened. This means my AI file will revert to the old version without my knowledge, while the low-res PDF will be the only version with my latest changes. This results in MAJOR problems! Please fix this serious bug ASAP -- nothing should be able to override or interrupt a "Save" action, just as in all past AI versions.

If you have done a lot of work and choose "save" (command-s) and if you are too quick to then choose "save as" (command-shift-s) and save a pdf, the original save seems to be cancelled, but the file has no indication that it is not saved.
This means that when you close the file, you get no warning that the file needs saving, and it just closes. When you then open the file, it is the old version of the file that opens.
This problem has been recreated on two different machines, so it is definitely a bug.
