Bug ID: 106208
Summary: Writer loses last user event if auto-save triggers at
a similar times
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.2.5.1 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: l...@zeta.org.au
I've been noticing for the last year or two, that Writer seems to lose events
during an auto-save. For my long documents, where an auto-save takes about 20
seconds to complete, if you typed something just before the auto-save triggers,
the user event is lost.
I've had all sorts of events lost: character input to the main body, or to a
comment; formatting changes (via Ctrl-I). The most serious was a Ctrl-S to
save, which I assumed had happened because I saw the save progress bar. But in
fact it was an auto-save, since I lost a little data when Writer crashed within
the next auto-save period. I was particularly puzzled when I looked at the
file modification time on the file, since I remembered the save.
Today, I had just pulled up the menu and clicked on the button to insert a
blank page when auto-save triggered. I waited, fully expecting to see the
blank page inserted as soon as the save completed. Instead, nothing happened.
I'm going to see if I can make a document to give you as a test case. It's a
little tricky to reproduce, as you have to wait for an autosave and then type
or do something an instant before the auto-save triggers. Otherwise the event
goes through to Writer and is of course correctly consumed and handled.
At least you'll have this report, however.
