Versioning problem when a doc is left open by a collaborator

I'm running into a versioning problem when collaborating with Zoho Writer. The basic situation is this: there may be several of us editing/reviewing a doc simultaneously. Call it version 1.0. One person walks away from his computer but leaves his browser window open with Zoho Writer open to the doc that we're editing. I make changes to the doc and save it, and it saves as version 1.1 -- but it appears that the computer/browser belonging to the person who has walked away from their computer goes into an autosave mode and saves the version 1.0 that they had been viewing OVER the 1.1 version that I saved. Thus, 1.2 contains none of the changes saved in 1.1 but effectively reverts back to 1.0. Until the person who has left the doc open in their browser returns to their computer and closes the doc, it continues to autosave over and over, making it impossible to save the new changes.  Can you review this, please?  It's proving to be a real problem when collaborating, particularly with people in different geographies and time zones.
