RStudio "Source on Save" button missing

I'm having an issue where my "Source on Save" button has disappeared from RStudio, and it's really frustrating me. It was there yesterday, but now it's not. Does anyone have any idea what could be the cause of this?

The only thing I can figure out is that the button shows up BEFORE you save a new file. Once you save it, the button disappears. I've also tried updating RStudio, with no luck. Then I tried uninstalling/re-installing. Again, with no luck.

I have no idea what might have caused it to disappear since yesterday. I've been writing some code for one of my personal projects, but nothing crazy.

I'm running RStudio 0.98.977(now) on Win7.

This is really frustrating. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

edit: Also, I tried uploading a screenshot, but SO won't let. All of the file extensions are .R, so they SHOULD be interpreted correctly. Also, this behavior is consistent across all of my R scripts, including ones that previously worked correctly.

I finally figured it out, thanks to this short discussion (which was just answered 2 hours ago, lucky me!): https://support.rstudio.com/hc/communities/public/questions/202788856-Problem-sourcing-non-shiny-R-code-in-RStudio-0-98-953

Apparently, shiny.ui and shiny.server cannot be located in the same folder as any of the files you want to source or else it thinks all of the other files in that folder are part of the Shiny app. I guess this throws it off somehow. I still don't know why it just showed up today, because I haven't used that app in the last several days, and I've been working on projects non-stop since then....but whatever, it works now.

Hopefully, this helps someone else out in the future.
