Bug ID: 160864
Summary: Screen stops refreshing after save, does not make a
restore auto-save for files
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.2.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: mich...@butash.net
Description:
After an update to my arch linux system going from 24.2.0-1 to 24.2.2-2, I am
having problems using calc or writer that in both cases, saving the file seem
to trigger the UI to stop refreshing the window.
It seems to still works, but not reflect UI changes, such as if I click and
drag, it acts like it's highlighting, I can right click and get a menu, but I
see no changes to the actual window workspace. If I type something and save,
it is reflected on reopening the file and works normally until I save the file,
then freezes again.
More concerning, if I open a new or existing file, make a change, save or
save-as, it freezes the screen, and I use a small script to kill all the
libreoffice pids to kill -9 everything, but then upon restart where I expect to
see that file in the restore list as I have for some 2 decades, it doesn't add
that to the restore list or act like it's ever seen the file.
Normally I would expect open any file, save the file, forcibly kill/crash
libreoffice, that it would assuredly open and restore that and all the other
files I have open. It's been one failsafe constant in my life since moving to
linux mid-2000's using openoffice and later libreoffice.
This seems sort of like a weird compositor issue I have with KDE/kwin where
windows stop refreshing after a week or two uptime, but this only seems to do
it to the active libreoffice document, and not the other calc/writer docs also
open. I'd expect/witnessed with compositor issues before it will affect all
windows for an app (including libreoffice), so instead seems more a UI problem
with libreoffice alone.
Steps to Reproduce:
For arch linux:
1.Open LibreOffice Base
2.Get Document Recovery window, Recover Selected prior open documents
3.Click on opened file, Ctrl-o to open new file (calc or writer)
4.Click on Untitled file, add some text content, ctrl-shift-s file to save-as a
file where ever
5.Observe after saving clicking in the document, dragging, typing, the work
space of the window does not reflect changes, but menu and clicking does change
pointer to reflect it is doing something
6.Observe clicking other libreoffice windows, calc or writer, others respond
normally for a time, others freeze the same way
7.Issue a kill -9 to all libreoffice pids to abort all instances
8.Click to open again Libreoffice Base
9.Observe the new file freshly saved is not part of Recovery, only the original
files recovered
10.Re-open the prior saved file, observe changes were saved, visible or not
prior to force kill
11.Repeat ad nauseam
Actual Results:
1.Windows freeze updating UI after any kind of save or auto-save, unable to
edit file
2.New windows added/edited, saved or not are no longer recovered after crash
after upgrade
Expected Results:
1.Quick save or save-as should not freeze the UI and allow normal continued
work after manual or auto-save
2.Any forced or unexpected crash of unsaved "Untitled #" or saved named files
are expected to be included in recovery after manual save or auto-save interval
(10min)
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
