Description Dave 2018-10-22 22:27:30 UTC
Description:
the next box that shows only gives the choice 'OK', it fails and 
returns to the same box - you can not get back to the box showing the choices 'start - discard'
I think the bug is that the 'discard/start' flag is not cleared on re-entry to the routine, because you can not get back to a 'discard or start' choice
You can only get out, you can not ignore and continue - I can not use 'office' until this is cleared.
I down loaded the latest version today (10-22-2018), installed - no errors no change.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Office reported that it crashed, tried to save existing file.
2.On startup it entered Document Recovery routine.
3.entered 'start to see what the file might be - got trapped in a loop

Actual Results:
got trapped in a loop. Had to exit - close window or use escape key.

Expected Results:
hoped to discard and clear or at least ignore and proceed into program.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
Could not get into the program to access help.
Not sure how to reset user-profile, I renamed the config folder, it just re-created it, no joy.

Thank you for reporting the bug.
it seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice.
Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ?
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
