Bug ID: 92151
Summary: EDITING: Crash while editing text, and lost 20 mins of
work
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.4.2.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: l...@zeta.org.au
I was editing a 150k word document (my novel), with change-tracking turned on,
and simply typing in some new text. LO froze, as did all other open LO
documents, and after a minute, they all died.
I think I may have run out of VM.
But when I restarted LO and it tried to recover the four open files, for three
of them it complained that there was no backup recovery file in
~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/backup/ (strange, since LO would often do an
auto-save, and of course you lose all mouse and keyboard input while that's
happening)...
Anyway, it said that it finished recovery (yellow tick marks against three
files, instead of green) and the files would be saved in my home directory. I
opted for that, but discovered that at least the last 20 mins of editing had
been lost.
Regardless of running out of memory and crashing rather than failing
gracefully, the fact that the backup files and auto saves weren't there seems
to me a major bug.
