We solved this by relabeling the button to "Keep a copy".

This is http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1948
There are two patches for this bug, both with outstanding problems.

Mine uses focus-out-event to detect the change, but gtk does not seem to
generate the event if you click stop directly after editing the widget.

The other approach landed in git for 0.88.1. It uses a 1-second
inactivity timer for saving, but the user could be too fast at closing
the activity (ctrl-q). Moreover, if the user is too slow at typing, it
causes spurious saves which slow down the UI and make the widget mess up
the input (which is what the bug was about).

A "duplicate document" function in the journal would be very useful, I
think.
