I have a new laptop now, so don't know if this will help at all. My grandson was using the old laptop and LibreOffice lost one of his docs, but he uninstalled it. (12.00 KB, application/msword)

Description ellengillette22 2021-01-09 00:20:08 UTC
Description:
I closed my laptop with several documents open in LibreOffice. The next time I restarted the computer, LibreOffice did not open the document recovery box. It indicated a newer version was available so I downloaded, thinking that was the issue. The documents are not in Backup. Poof. They have vanished. One was fairly lengthy and there should at least be a previously saved version. I show no recent documents, although there were LOTS.

Actual Results:
I have no idea. All I did was close the laptop, open again, restart, download newest version to see if that corrected.

Expected Results:
Expected the "document recovery" to open with a message that it hadn't shut down properly.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
It should not have lost my documents. All of them. I have no recent documents.

I have a new laptop now, so don't know if this will help at all. My grandson was using the old laptop and LibreOffice lost one of his docs, but he uninstalled it.

In both my case and grandson's, laptop was closed. When opened, instead of showing the document recovery page, there was nothing. And the documents disappeared.
