Synopsis: "Open backup file" causes "Open backup file" endlessly

Description
I compile a project.

I compose a line like this
    document.tables.add

Then I Ctrl+space.  Cursor moves before 'add' and after .
    document.tables.|add
And EStudio crashes saying it will backup files.

I restart EiffelStudio, I choose the project and immediately appears the dialog saying there is a backup file and letting me choose 
"Open Backup" or "Open original"

I click "Open backup file" - the dialog opens again - I click "Open backup file" - the dialog opens again, endlessly.

For the 6.0 release, we are disabling the automatic restore of the backup file. We will try to come up with a better solution in future releases.
