Yes, its a sort of bug. Well, a minor glitch. WeBuilder (et al) uses preview files (temporary HTML files) to view the preview pane, but uses sequentially numbered files (eg, prev1~.htm, prev2~.htm, etc)
Sometimes, in certain circumstances, it looses track of which file it should be looking at (eg, prev6~.htm rather than prev5~.htm) and deletes prev5~.htm.*
The quickest 'fix' is to save the document, then make a small edit then undo that edit. This recreates a new preview file for it to look at. Alternatively, you can switch between the preview tab and split screen hor tab, then back again.
*The main time this arises, is when you are previewing a file, save the document, then refresh the preview window manually.
