Bug ID: 170065
Summary: It opens older versions of files when a newer version
with the same name is put into the folder to replace
it
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.2.7.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]

Description:
The bug occurred when I created a document in Word 2016 on a school computer,
saved it to OneDrive, downloaded it to my laptop, used LibreOffice to convert
it to an ODT document and then edited it, then uploaded it back to OneDrive,
opened it in Word 2016 on the school computer and converted it back to a docx
file with the same name, edited it, then downloaded it back to my laptop, and
deleted the original article.docx file from my laptop and cut and paste the
article.docx file I'd downloaded from OneDrive into the folder the previous
file was in. I double-clicked the file to open it in LibreOffice, and it showed
me the contents of the old file (which I'd deleted) rather than the new file
with the edits I'd made. (I know it wasn't a Word bug because I then opened the
file in OnlyOffice and it opened properly.)
I tried to reproduce the issue by creating a document in Word online,
downloading it, editing it in LibreOffice, uploading it back to OneDrive and
editing it in Word online, and then downloading it back to my computer and
opening it in LibreOffice, but that didn't reproduce the bug; it worked as it
was supposed to.
I think reproducing the bug successfully would require me to use another
computer to edit the file in Word.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a document in Word 2016 (call it article.docx), write some stuff, and
save it to OneDrive
2. Download it to a computer running Fedora Silverblue
3. Open it in LibreOffice
4. Edit it and save it as article.odt
5. Upload article.odt back to OneDrive and then power off your computer
6. Log onto your other computer, open OneDrive, delete article.docx, open
article.odt in Word 2016, and edit it again and save it as article.docx
7. Download article.docx from OneDrive into your downloads folder on your
laptop running Fedora Silverblue
8. Delete the old version of article.docx from the folder you were working in
and cut the version from downloads and paste it into the folder you were
working in
9. Double-click on it to open it in LibreOffice
Actual Results:
It opens the old version of the file (which I deleted)
Clicking Refresh doesn't fix it
Expected Results:
It opens the file I double-clicked on
Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce
