Steps to reproduce the issue

Using JCB tag 3.1.8,
in Libs & Helpers -> Add PHP (helper Classes - Both admin & site)
Enter custom code (I had entered close to 9000 lines at the point this issue happened)
Install JCB tag 3.1.9
Compile the component

Expected result

Code should compile and custom helper code (both admin & site) should be visible in the GUI and in the helper php file.

Actual result

All code within the "/[JCBGUI.joomla_component.php_helper_both.26.$$$$]/" tags is gone, and the entry area within the GUI is blank.

System information (as much as possible)

OS Name & Version: Windows 10 running WAMP
MySql Version: 5.7.31
Apache Version: 2.4.46
PHP Version: 7.4.9
Joomla Version: 3.10.11
JCB Version: 3.1.8 - 3.1.9
Browser: Firefox developer (108.0b9)

Additional comments

After recovering the lost code from an archive and entering it back in and re-compiling it works fine.
Upgraded to 3.1.12 and re-compile and everything is fine.

Not sure how this could have happened, but rather concerning to loose about 9,000 lines of code on a compile after an upgrade.

Wondering if anyone else has seen anything like this - or if there are any cautions posted anywhere when upgrading to a newer tag version (other than back everything up before hand)?

NOTE: I have not had a chance to test this on any other install to see if it was limited to this specific instance but will try to do that in the next day or two.

OK ... I will hopefully have time to upgrade one of my other JCB dev sites this coming week to see if this is repeatable. If not I'll just close this as some anomoly.

NOTE: I'm using PHP Storm as an IDE and have noticed some other peculiarities since the latest version came out. Might be possible it is related to that upgrade instead.

I'll update here within the next week to try to reproduce or close this one.

I've not been able to reproduce this on any other site so I'm just going to close this.
