Description: When you save the Writer or Calc document, you have a _full-width_ progress bar at the bottom of the screen and what is worse, the whole UI turns dimmed for a some time. This is really bad. Such the poor UX is exacerbated by the matters that * LO is not really stable software. That is, you _must_ save your documents quite often. * The saving is quite slow.

If we have to block the program while saving, the current solution is not so bad. Some progress needs to be shown. Keep in mind that saving data to a USB stick or remotely may take some time. Of course it would be better to run the long-lasting operation in a background thread. But that's rather a technical question.
Input from developers: filters assume document model doesn't change while saving so putting things into a thread and run in background require way too much work. Regarding the visualization, we may show the progressbar in a dialog but I don't think it's an advantage. So let's resolve the request as WF.
