Bug ID: 151911
Summary: Writer crash when moving table column, work not saved
when program said it would be
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.2.3 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: mikefreeman1...@gmail.com
Description:
I had created a large, multi-page table containing loads of accumulated data in
Writer. I decided I needed to reorganize the columns a little, so I highlighted
a column and started dragging it to the new location. Before I let go of the
mouse button, the entire window disappeared, and a small window came up letting
me know that the program crashed, and said that my data up to that point will
now be saved. I clicked ok. Once the program came up, the entire table was
gone, and many hours of work was lost. I tried reloading the file that I had
been saving it to, but of course that's the one that the window I clicked ok on
had saved to, which means that not only did I lose the data with the crash, but
my saved backup as well. Perhaps the crash window should save to an alternate
backup file instead of overwriting the working file.
Steps to Reproduce:
I haven't tried to reproduce the problem, as I've never seen this happen before
doing similar tasks. I would have to completely redo hours of work to replicate
the exact situation, and knowing my luck it probably won't happen next time I
try.
Actual Results:
None
Expected Results:
None
Reproducible: Didn't try
