I am very much a beginner here, and am starting to try to use OpenModelica by editing text files in OMEdit.

Since I am just starting out, I make synactical errors in my file, and I get the popup that says "Problems are found in Modelica Text".

I have two options: "Revert from previous", and "Fix errors manually". The recommendation is to choose the former.

When I did that, it simply deleted everything that I'd done, so I do not advise the use that button.

I had to start over again, but I have the same issue due to new syntactical errors.

When I try "Fix errors manually", it doesn't give up, it just pops up the error dialogue again as soon as I press 'Fix errors manually'.

What am I doing wrong?
