The .mpg movie was just downloaded to my ~/Downloads directory The 15 Word .docx files were copied from a USB drive I use to transfer from my business Win7 laptop via a USB3 cable to my Ubuntu 14.04 machine. For those files I created a new directory in my ~/Desktop and copied the files there. Then edited each of them with libre-writer, saved each to that same directory as a .ODT file then printed each file.
In both cases, I did a normal shutdown of my Ubuntu and the next day powered the system up and found the files gone. The first time with the .mpg file I blew it off as I could always get the movie again and figured I must have somehow deleted it. However, the 2nd time those Word Docs were for my youngest Son's college admissions documents we need to send to the 8 Universities that accepted him.... I know I would not have deleted those, especially after all the edits I'd done. But the next day after the system booted I couldn't find them. The directory was there but neither the original 15 .docx files nor 15 modified .ODT files were there ... the directory was empty. That's when I rebooted to a live CD and did the fsck... but that showed no disk errors or lost data. Sorry I can't be more specific or point to anything in particular. The best I can do is try to recreate it. I only filed the bug because if this is "a bug" and other's were seeing something like this they may be like me and just be thinking they were imagining things. But if someone else is seeing this then it was a way to know it was just yourself. I am going to do both steps again and then tonite shutdown and boot tomorrow and and see if anything goes missing. However, I have also been trying to keep up with the Beta code drops by doing a apt-get update, apt-get upgrade each day... so unless it happens again it could be a problem come & gone.
