Sorry to be long-winded. I am too tired to write shorter. On Mon, 2014-07-21 at 21:19 -0700, Joel Madero wrote: > I have closed this bug twice as NOTABUG but the user does not agree so > requesting second opinion: > https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81627
That report is "FILESAVE: Keystrokes/characters typed while AutoRecovery/Autosave happens aren't registered". When I first saw that behaviour, it impressed me as a bug. It is particularly annoying in two circumstances: (1) Typing without looking at the screen. Yes, some of us still do that, and for good reasons. (2) Working in a large document on an overtaxed computer. It is not that I create large documents; rather it is useful to make notes while working through some else's document. For example, autosave can make me wait over a minute just to type "Yup, that works" somewhere in the 587 pages of Andrew Pitonyak's "OpenOffice.org Macros Explained" <file:///home/terry/lo_hacking/notes/OOME_3_0.odt>. As for the ODF specification ... it is beyond thinking about. The suggested workaround of turning off autosave applies, I think, to everything you do in LibreOffice, not to one document. So, it is more drastic than one would wish. Perhaps a compromise disposition would be to accept the report as a Request For Enhancement. But then we get immediately into the questions: How responsive should the UI be during an autosave? At what cost in programming effort? At what cost in machine usage, remembering that we want a solution for Win too? If LibreOffice merely saves keystrokes for processing after completion of the autosave, the result could be more confusing than the existing situation. I wish I had a clear opinion to offer. I am beginning to remember why I never got around to filing that RFE <grin />.
