Well, I downloaded OpenOffice.org 3.2 RC1 from the http://www.openoffice.org/ site, unpacked and installed from a terminal with ”dpkg -i *.deb” in the DEBS folder and then the same thing in the ”desktop-integration” folder. The default setting fro auto-save seems to be 15 minutes, but it seems like it does that more often and more random (like ”when it feels like it”, kind of). As if that's not enough of a problem, it doesn't only save once or twice; it saves at least three times in a row, or at least it looks like that. Some times more, maybe five or more times at once. With a big spreadsheet this is very annoying. So what you need to do to test this is to install OpenOffice.org 3.2 RC1, create a big spreadsheet (like about 5 sheets with 2000 rows of data and formulas and 10 columns) and just work with it. The reason for having a bid spreadsheet file is that it takes more time to save, so it's more likely that you detect the problem. If you test with an empty spreadsheet, the saving probably is so fast so you won't notice what's happening.
