Bug ID: 151708
Summary: Unsaved documents are no longer recovered
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: vr...@post.com
Description:
L/O Writer (vers 7.4.2.3) is no longer recovering unsaved files. I do not know
when I first noticed that it does not, but it has been several months (several
versions earlier). Finally, I uninstalled the current version, and installed
two old versions (7.0.0.0 and 7.1.0.0) that I was reasonably sure did not have
the problem because they were before I encountered the problem. However, upon
installing the old versions, they had the same problem, so now I am baffled.
After uninstalling them, and reinstalling 7.4.2.3, the problem still exists.
Steps to Reproduce:
Step 0 – Setup
I have one saved document (in a folder on the Desktop), and 4 unsaved, open
documents (pic 01). There is the saved document (named document 1.odt) (pic
02) I have pics of unsaved documents (pics 03-06) all filled with text.
Step 1 – End task
Then I kill LibreOffice using “End task” on Task Manager (pic 07). I have used
this often, with unsaved documents always being recovered upon restarting
LibreOffice.
Step 2 – Restart LibreOffice
Now, when I restart LibreOffice (pic 08), it looks like it is going to recover
the documents. I click “Start” which brings up a screen that says that all
documents were “Successfully recovered” (pic 09).
Step 3 – View the results
Actual Results:
When you look at the "recovered" documents, the saved document looks good (pic
10), but all of the unsaved documents are empty with the text “(Remote)” added
to the temporary, unsaved document name (pics 11-14).
Expected Results:
I would expect all recovered documents to be as they were before.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
This is my first bug report to LibreOffice.
Safe Mode did not resolve the problem. It didn't try to recover documents at
all. So, as instructed, I did not try to "reset" UserProfile.
