OpenOffice lets me open multiple views on the same text file (Window > New
Window).  Both windows allow editing.  Sometimes, editing in one windows shows
up in the other one.

However, when editing a large file in both windows, I ended up having the
windows be treated as two separate editing sessions.  The net result is that
after I closed both windows, I ended up losing the edits I made in one of the
two windows.

This is extremely serious, since it caused several hours of data loss, and even
regular saving or backups don't help (since one version always overwrites the
other).  

This sort of thing really shouldn't happen in any "3.0" level office suite. 
Instead of relying on some logic during file opening/closing, perhaps OpenOffice
should check regularly whether the collection of windows and views it has open
is actually logically consistent and correctly linked.
