            Bug ID: 100534
           Summary: Data Lost from Calc
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.1.3.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal

Version: 5.1.3.2

Thousands of lines of spreadsheet lost, columns changed after a save.

It had taken me days of work, over weeks, to create a 4,000 line spreadsheet
and associated pivot tables.

I finally went to bed at 3am after saving it, finally finished it. I left Calc
open and went to bed.

This morning I awoke and reopened the spreadsheet to find only 130 lines left
and that the columns had changed. Although undo was available, there was
nothing in the undo that had had any indication as to what had happened.

The file had saved over the last valid version, so everything was lost and
tracking wasn't on. Backup copy also was not selected, but if it had it too
would have been overwritten eventually.

What remained in the spreadsheet was different to any state the spreadsheet had
been in previously, so undo would not have restored it. It was exactly as if
data had been randomly deleted and some columns altered by a hacker, but there
was nothing in undo, so nothing a user could have done.
