It's not that simple, I've happened to have made the same mistake  
myself many times.

Yes I'd like to second that request for some better indicator of the  
state of the system at that point. I don't know what Allan has  
planned for 2.0, but it would definitely be nice to have an indicator  
that the Test button hasn't been pressed, even though the language  
has changed, and hence what you see as a language grammar is not what  
TM is using. For all other bundle items, the moment the bundle editor  
closes their changes are registered, but not so for languages, and  
there is no visual indicator that something is amiss.

Heh, that brings back memories ;) I spent a considerable amount of my  
time while working on my thesis, tinkering with the LaTeX bundle  
instead. TM is just too addictive in that respect (in a good way of  
course). ;)

Good luck.
