Title: LibreOffice saves my files, next time I attempt to open them it says they're corrupt Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Last night I was working on several files, closed them, then attempted to reopen them and got a dialog saying: << The file 'x.odt' is corrupt and therefore cannot be opened. LibreOffice can attempt to repair the file. The corrupt document could be the result of document manipulation or of structural document damage due to data transmission. ... Should LibreOffice repair the file? [Yes] [No] >> If I select "Yes," I get another dialog saying "The file 'x.odt' could not be repaired and therefore cannot be opened." I click "Ok" and another window appears saying "General Error." If I attempt to open the same file again, I get an error message saying: << The document 'x.odt' is locked for editing by: Unknown User Open document read-only or open a copy of the document for editing. >> If I select either of these options, it goes back into the "The file . . . is corrupt. . . ." I can open the files just fine on AbiWord. I was also able to edit things in LibreOffice by opening them in AbiWord then copying them into an empty document in LibreOffice, but then when I saved, closed, and tried to open again I got the same problem. I also found that when I was trying to save these documents last night, it would tell me that (I didn't write this down so I'm constructing it from memory) it couldn't write the data due to insufficient user privileges and that it couldn't write some xml file. I tried to save in another folder and it worked without problems. Then I moved it from that folder into the original folder without problems. So there is no write permissions problem here. (I thought maybe this was because I was writing in an Ubuntu One synched folder, but this was only a problem some of the time and only with LibreOffice, not other programs.) I just upgraded to the new LibreOffice and am having the same problems. So I'm working with AbiWord for today and hoping I can open my files with LibreOffice eventually. Thanks.
