Bug ID: 106912
Summary: FILESAVE sometimes fails to save as CSV, sometimes
manual save silently fails, data is lost
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.1.6.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: a...@meatfreezer.com
Description:
I'm using LibreOffice 5.1.6.2 on Ubuntu 16.04. After working on a spreadsheet
over the past few days (keeping LibreOffice open the whole time), this
afternoon LibreOffice started complaining about being unable to save as CSV or
XLSX. The error message I got is "Error saving the document $filename: General
Error. General input/output error"
I got a little sketched out and decided to just save the doc and restart the
application. I chose Save from the File menu, and did not get an error message.
I closed LibreOffice, and did not get an error message. I then re-open my
document, only to see that none of the edits that I've made in the last few
hours are in the doc.
So much data entry lost! I'm so sad!
This is a very simple sheet with only 99 rows and 30 columns that I'm doing
by-hand data entry into. No calculations or formulae.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Work on doc for a while.
2. Save the doc as CSV.
3. Save the doc.
4. Quit and restart.
Actual Results:
"Save as.." sometimes fails with error message.
Save silently fails.
App happily and silently quits without having saved edits.
Expected Results:
I'm upset but understand failing to "Save as..." with an error message. I know
there's something I need to do to understand it. But silently failing to "Save"
is unforgivable, as is allowing the user to quit without at least notifying me
about losing uncommitted edits.
Reproducible: Sometimes
