Description: I was editing a line on one slide of a presentation. As I recall, I had just changed the curvature and the color and was about to change the line type, when the autosave began. It seems to have gone into an infinite loop, with the status alternating between "slide 3 of 348" and "Save document." (See the attached video.) Occasionally "Point from Bézier curve selected" replaces the progress bar. It was in this status for more then 30 minutes -- long enough for me to choose, download, install, and use a video capture program and write this bug report -- so I used Task Manager to close it. The recovered presentation was fine when I reopened it, but of course it was missing my last changes. Steps to Reproduce: See Description. I haven't tried to reproduce it, because Autosave is so infrequent. Actual Results: See Description Expected Results: Autosave should complete. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 6.0.5.2 (x64) Build ID: 54c8cbb85f300ac59db32fe8a675ff7683cd5a16 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; Locale: en-US (en_US); Calc: group

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.
I upgraded to 6.1.5 but was unable to replicate the problem. I suspect that it depends on an unlikely combination of factors. In any event, this call might as well be closed. I'll open a new one if it happens again.
Thanks for retesting with the latest version. Setting to RESOLVED WORKSFORME as the commit fixing this issue hasn't been identified.
