--- Comment #13 from Lionel Elie Mamane <lio...@mamane.lu> ---
I'm sorry your data file got corrupted. Since we don't know how to reproduce
it, realistically I don't think much will happen.

The corrupted file is not even recognised by "file" as a ZIP file anymore.

I treated the corrupted file with "zip -F", and then it opened correctly, table
and report.

I'm not sure what to do QA-wise to this bug... I recognise it happened, but
keeping it open without clear reproduction steps is not going to achieve
anything. Robinson, what's your opinion?

There is an autosave every XX minutes; that's what the autorecovery uses; AFAIK
one can "just" copy the autosave file before restarting LibreOffice; I think it
is somewhere in ~/.config/libreoffice/4/. See "tools / options / load/save /
general / save autorecovery information every XX minutes".

I'm not so sure. Embedded HSQLDB does rather horrible tricks to "fake" that the
database is saved to the odb after each transaction; I wouldn't be too
surprised if the file corruption problems came from there. Embedded Firebird by
design does not (and requires a "save" to save the data in the odb file).
