Answer 1

I believe you can press Ctrl-S to force a save as you would do with MS-Word/Excel etc...

Looking at your screenshot, its always a good idea to enable offline mode. It will capture all your changes locally and sync them up when the connection comes back.

To turn on hit the Menu icon in the top left of the screen and select Settings. Then click the 'Offline' button so its blue like below.
