SUMMARY

I ran into the issue with 7.3.6.2, and observed an intermediate failure step,
where the equations have an entry in the “ObjectReplacements” directory of the
document, but the actual document is already broken for editing, leading to
three states of equation Objects appearing:

  1. INTACT OBJECT. Has entries ‘./Object <num>/content.xml’ and ‘Object
<num>/settings.xml’ as well as a few empty subdirectories.
  2. VIEW-ONLY OBJECT. The directory ‘./Object <num>/’ has empty
subdirectories, but the XML files are missing. The object does however have an
entry ‘./ObjectReplacements/Object <num>’. At this point, the issue is unlikely
to be noticed while editing.
  3. FULLY BROKEN OBJECT. A directory ‘./Object <num>/’ exists, but is empty.

DETAILS

It is only the second time I have been seeing this bug despite heavy usage of
Libre Office over the last months. Every time it happened however, it was for
math-heavy documents several pages long; In the latest case around 50 equations
have been lost at some unknown point, though I was lucky to have retained a PDF
version, where all lost equations were still present.

Just retyping the lost content though took two hours.

I cannot provide the document itself, since it is a report for an industry
partner, but when looking at document contents, there are entries

    ./Object 4

but it is just an empty directory. So the overall document structure looks
something like

     .
     ├── Configurations2
     │   ...
     ├── Object 1
     ├── Object 10
     ├── Object 11
     │   ...
     ├── Object 53
     │   ├── floater
     │   ├── menubar
     │   ├── popupmenu
     │   ├── progressbar
     │   ├── statusbar
     │   ├── toolbar
     │   └── toolpanel
     │   ...
     ├── Object 64
     │   ├── content.xml
     │   ├── floater

     │   ├── settings.xml
     │   ├── statusbar

     │   ...

* Objects that are missing appear as empty directories.

* Objects, that are empty except for subdirectories, appear in
ObjectReplacements and are visible in the document, these documents are NOT
EDITABLE in Writer, only viewable. In my case there are 35 entries in
“ObjectReplacements”.

* Objects that are intact have a form

     .
     └── Object 64
         ├── content.xml
         ├── settings.xml
         └── <some empty subdirectories>
