Description: I open a file I created in LO and work on it. When I open another LO file after about 10 minutes the file won't open but will show the little flash screen which flashes on and off. This keeps up until I close the first file. Then when the 2nd file opens I have to go through the File Recovery process for the file I just closed. However, if I open the 2nd file within a few minutes of first opening the original file this problem doesn't occur. It matters not what 2 files are involved. I've experimented with this a few times and it seems the point where the trouble starts is AFTER the file I'm working on has been saved or had an autosave event occur a few times. Opening more files before that has no problem. I only use Writer and Calc. I tried 'Continue in Safe Mode' and when it happened using that I got - "Error loading BASIC of document file:///home/ernest/.config/libreoffice/4/user/basic/Standard/script.xlb/: General Error. General input/output error." - I checked, and the file is the same code wording as in a brand new installation of LO7. This has only appeared this year, but not sure if it started when I upgraded to LO 6.5 or LO 7, but it has been an issue with each version of LO 7 I've used and I suspect it is only LO 7 related. I use Writer the most and marked as such, but have had the same issue with Calc. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Opened ODT file, made several changes and saved several times over 10 minutes or more. 2. Opened another ODT file or a ODS file check information in it. 3. 2nd file didn't open but LO flash screen flashes at me until I close the first file. Actual Results: Happens about 85% of the time that I have a flashing screen until i clsoe the first file. Expected Results: The second file should open as normal Reproducible: Sometimes User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Using LO 7.0.2.2 in latest updated version of Zorin Linux with Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti graphics card using Nvidia driver 450.80.02 displaying on a 4 monitors, all of which are AOC 4K monitors. System is AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-core CPU with 64 GB RAM.
