No, what we fixed in m122 was that versions even got lost when you pressed
"Save" and then when getting asked wether you wanted to save to ODF changed the
format.
"SaveAs" taken from the menu *always* removed versions *by intent*. This is also
described that way in the Online Help. It's questionable wether this is a clever
move but until now it's the way it is designed (the feature is very old, no idea
who designed it years ago).
My interpretation is that the motivation for removing versions is privacy - if
you create a copy of a document it is a new document that shouldn't contain the
old versions that show its history. Maybe also the reason is that at that time
when the feature was designed Word did it the same way. :-)
Changing this behavior would need to change the Online Help text and from my POV
is a feature change request, not a defect.
If you never want to lose your versions, but want to convert your files to ODF,
always use "Save" (and then select the new format when you get asked) or use the
Document Converter (that BTW also was fixed in m122).
For now I mark this issue as invalid. If you think the saving process should be
changed to always preserver versions, you can set the status back to "New",
change the Issue type to "Enhancement" or "Feature" and set the target to "OOo
Later". I will assign it then to the UI specialists.
