Public bug reported:

This has been reported by at least two users for the libreoffice and
chromium snaps.

See https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/call-for-testing-
libreoffice-5-4-3/2935/6:

  « My LO just refreshed…I had a document open and the Ubuntu Dock seems to 
think it’s no longer open even though it is (no orange pip)
    Also when I tried to open that file it said I had it open and it was 
‘locked for editing’, rather than just refocusing on the window I have open.
    I then got this error when trying to close/save the file:
        saving the document 
        
file:///home/adam/snap/libreoffice/43/.config/libreoffice/4/user/basic/script.xlc:
        General Error.
        General input/output error.
    Presumably this is because the instance I have open is revision 43 and the 
new one is 44 that Ubuntu Dock is trying to launch from, but LO should ‘just 
work’ on refreshes. Given refreshes are effectively silent, ordinary users will 
be confused as to what’s going on here. How could the experience be made 
better? How can the system recognize that revision 43 is the one that’s open 
and therefore not try and launch revision 44 whilst revision 43 is open? »

Apparently, apps that register as a gapplication don't have the issue.
