Description John 2019-10-15 12:02:55 UTC 
Description:
I have a custom template which is currently stored in C:\Users\John\Desktop\LO.

From time to time I edit it, and then, after I close the Writer, I see TMP file in the same directory:

```
t.ott
t.ott~RF73c0aa0.TMP
```

I can delete this file, but it will be immediately created again. 

Then, after about a minute, it will disappear without any help from my side.

I don't use LO for "real work" currently - my work is limited to the template itself. Therefore, I cannot say whether this issue affects normal documents - but I suppose the answer is "yes."

From that time, I worked with Writer a lot and I never have this bug again.

Just a guess:

The bug (sometimes) happens if you disable lock files (Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Advanced > Open Expert Configuration > Search for UseLocking and set it to False.)

From the time I turned this setting to its default state (i.e. True), I have never experience the described bug again.

Indeed, this is not a bug. Lock files are essential. Closing.
