Bug ID: 156431
Summary: Undo doesn’t reset save document status
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.5.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
SUMMARY
Unlike most software, if you modify something in a saved document, then revert
this change, LO doesn’t remember that the document is identical to what is has
already saved.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a [new] file or save your current open document.
2. Change one or more things.
3. Cancel once or several times according to what you did in step 2.
OBSERVED RESULT
The Save (floppy disk) icon has a red dot showing the document has to be saved.
If you want to close the document, LO will ask you to save it first.
EXPECTED RESULT
By reverting the changes, you brought the document in the original status,
therefore it is identical to what is saved, thus there is no need to save.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 7
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Unlike LO, many software (should I mention its main competitor?) remember this
correctly. Not having to save will avoid an unnecessary question if you opened
(let’s say) a spreadsheet, filtered some data to check, reverted that, then you
want to close the file. It will avoid unnecessary doubts from the user during
the workflow (did I save the file when necessary?) And it saves time on big
files or external devices if you have to save “just by precaution”.
