Fix it or don't. I don't care at all. Apparently this is a well known problem that has been going on for 10 years now. I'm not going to spend 10 hours trying to track this crap down and I'm not going to use a spreadsheet program that I have to constantly look over my shoulder to check whether or not it's losing my data or not.

Please give a try with a recent LO version, 5.2 is EOL, last ones are 5.4.4 or brand new 6.0

Since you didn't respond, I'll close. 
If you still repro with new LO version, attach the sample file and set Unconfirmed.
