From your description it looks like saved the log instead of the program. Make sure the program editor frame has focus by clicking in it. Check the contents of the .log file it created to see if it has the program or the log.

Can you show a screenshot of you in the program window, clicking save and getting the log extension? If you're in the log tab, it will automatically save the log file not the program file.

If you save the code with the .log extension, what does it show?

The LOG extension means that you did not attempt to save from the Editor if you mean to save the program.

Make sure that your active window is the Editor, i.e. click in it, BEFORE attempting to save the program.

And since you did not make any changes since the last time you saved the LOG there was nothing new to save so "nothing happens".

You have to change the focus to the EDITOR before saving.
