I think it is more when power goes off or the OS decides it must reboot than when a user forgot to shutdown the application correctly. It is very difficult for an application to know why it shutdown "unexpectedly" so good practice is to assume a problem occurred and any open files need to be recovered. -- Jay Lozier jsloz...@gmail.com -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
