We have not noticed grouping/notes losses with versions prior to 3.6.4 (all
Windows), except possibly once (with version 3.5.something) in November 2012.

> a) is it 100% clear when the loss happens?
In our cases, all losses happened when the document was saved and was noticed
when openened the next time. That is to say, grouping (sometimes notes as well)
gets lost on a complete sheet, which need not necessarily be the sheet in view.
So in some cases, the loss of grouping/notes was only noticed some time later.
The groupings (notes) are simply not saved for that sheet, I examinated several
backups and studied the xml-content.

> b) Am I right that normally only some groups are lost and replaced by hiding

It may be that I do not understand your question, but when it happens _all_
grouping (rows and columns) are gone on a sheet. I cannot say whether it
happened on one sheet only or or one or more sheets, but it did not happen on
all sheets. The sheet(s) with lost grouping (notes) were often not the
selected/visible sheets.

Yes, I have several documents before and after as we have a lot of backups. I
cannot upload them as they are (the documents include information from
customers) to freedesktop. I can upload one or more fods with sensitive
information removed, I can also send them (ods) as an attachment to Rainer or
Petr directly on the condition that they are used discretely.

The documents with which we experienced the grouping/notes loss were all
xls-docuemnts (Excel 2000) that were converted to odt in the autumn of 2010 and
used with LibreOffice since. So yes, ODF-errors can be expected in the
documents.

I include 'notes' when I say grouping, as the loss of notes occurs together
with the loss of grouping (in the same tab). I cannot say with certainty that
grouping loss did not occur without notes loss, but the other way round (notes
have not been lost without groups being lost) is definitivelt true.

We have 8 people editing a total of 20-100 of calc-documents like the
fdo39484-sample. Some are edited several time a day, some only once a  year. We
only noticed the data loss since December, 2012 and only found two documents
which suffered data loss (we checked more than 50 of these documents that were
modified in November/December 2012 and January 2013). One of these two
documents, suffered data loss several times. My suspect is that it is a
combination of document-content (ODF-error?) and FILESABE handling of
LibreOffice. The people that edit these two documents regularly have downgraded
to version 3.5.7. Since then we have not noticed grouping/notes losses.
As it looks to me that it is document-related, the ratio with which the bug
happens could be less than 1/1000 for documents in general or 1/10 (a guess)
for susceptible documents.
