Why is there a difference between File > Save ..., and copying everything to a
new document and File > Save ..., the new document?

There are numerous cases where a corrupted .odt file is magically
"un-corrupted" by Edit > Select All > Copy > Paste into a new document > Save
....  Two such forum posts (there are more - copying to a new document is often
suggested as a fix) are:

a) Re: Compressing size of an odt containing large image
(https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=81238&p=377733&hilit=tangled#p377950)
which says "I'm amazed at the improvement of the second file after I saved the
contents of the original into a new file ('removing the tangles')"

b) Re: Changing Automatic default footnote anchor symbol [Solved]
(https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=82900#p384321) where
a corrupted (wrong font?) footnote anchor was reset by pasting the entire .odt
contents to a new .odt file.

As copying the entire contents seems to fix problems - possibly because
redundant tags and their arguments are discarded??? - could this "clean up"
stage be incorporated as a normal part of the File > Save ... process.
