Description: After upgrade the version in 2020 somewhere in June (after years use of an old version), file cannot save. It says "Locking Problem, Sharing Violation". Opening several files, in the middle of editing in 1 file suddenly app crash shutting down all opened files. Re-launch being prompted with recovery files. Recovery unsuccessful. Repeated many times with failure. End up. Files corrupted. Today 28th Jan 2021 i installed new. Same happened. No improvement. WTF of upgrade. Things are stable & in order before I upgrade to new version available in June 2020. The old version is stable enough without any problem or hint of upgrade needed. I just want to upgrade to have maybe some new features or improvements offer within the new version. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open any file Calc 2.Edit anything 3.Try click save Actual Results: Error Saving File. Locking problem. Expected Results: Save normally like other apps.

now have the new error message says : The lock file could not be created for exclusive access by LibreOffice, due to missing permission to create a lock file on that file location or lack of free disc space. Got 2 options to select either Open Read-Only or Cancel. after that prompt, the saving error message follows.
It seems LibreOffice didn't installed correct. It doesn't have permission to save anywhere on disk. Please try to install again.
