Description psiebold1 2020-08-25 22:08:30 UTC
Using simultaneous instances of LibreOffice, the auto-save feature runs the risk of transferring and linking data from one instance to the other, which results in a lot of errors.  This is fixed by simply pressing CTRL+Z on both instances on the sheets affected.

The biggest cause of this appears to be when the auto-saving takes several seconds because the files are large (several MB each) and there seems to be an interpretation that as it initiates the auto-save that I am selecting the entire sheet to be dragged somewhere.  This can result in no problems if the mouse pointer does not leave the window.  However, especially when the auto-save appears unexpected and you going between instance windows.

Due to the sizes of the files (30 MB each) in which I experience this, including an attachment is perhaps not advised.  It would perhaps be easier to use auto-fill to create some large files that will be cumbersome enough to recreate the effect.

A new major release of LibreOffice is available since this bug was reported.
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.
