What happens when you set the option from 10 to 5 minutes? The problem
may stem from how does LibreOffice know where you were in the document
before it "crashed". That info must be saved somewhere outside the
recovery document.
What do you call a "large document"?
It is nice to hear that others use the the auto-recovery. I have needed
it many times.
To be honest, I forgot all about this option since I have not needed it
since the 5.1.x line.

When working on a large document, for safety reasons I have the
auto-recovery information saved every ten minutes. If I don't remember
to keep clicking on the page as I scroll through doing an edit, there
comes a moment when the auto-recovery info gets saved and suddenly I
find I'm back elsewhere in the document than where I wanted to be.
It is a very annoying and unfortunate result of a sensible saving
procedure.
It happens too with manual saves are made but is less likely because
when I make a manual save it is most often when I have just made an edit
on the current page.
Does anyone know if there is a setting in the expert configuration under
advanced options where this behavior could be modified so that the page
currently in view does not disappear when auto-recovery save is made ?
