Description

We have encountered a problem concerning saving manually annotated documents with the Apache UIMA CasEditor.
In short, not all annotations and relations are always saved when saving an xmi file. That is, oftentimes we save an annotated document and reopen it with the annotation editor, some of the annotations and all relations are missing.

We are not quite sure what the underlying problem is and we even didn't manage to always reproduce it, but this is what we've done and observed:

After importing a text file (.txt) and opening its corresponding xmi file with the annotation editor we annotated some entities and created relations among them afterwards. We then saved and closed that file. Reopening it again, in most cases the first couple of annotations still existed. However, subsequent annotations and, especially, all relations were missing.
An interesting observation that might help to find the actual problem is the following: When we annotated and saved the same previously edited document again, everything worked fine, i.e. all annotations and relations had actually been saved.
