When working on two or three documents, this is an easy way to see which
documents have been saved, and which one's still need to be saved.
When a document takes a second or two to save, then the additional time
from saving the "wrong document" is negligible.
But when it takes five to ten minutes to save the document, saving the
"wrong document" can can have a negative impact on productivity.

if it were so, then you would be unable to save the document :wink:

When a change has been made to the document, it automatically becomes
undimmed.

When you have the status bar enabled, there is an indicator there whether the document has been modified. It is a small rectangle with a check mark if the document is not modified and a red star if it is modified (this may depend on your theme). You can even save the document by double clicking on that icon, and it won't do that if the document is not modified. Much easier than checking the menu.
