Calc spreadsheet corrupted during save to copy

Libreoffice Calc kept crashing with an input/output error during save.

It was unable to recover from backups due to the backup files being corrupt.

It was possible to open the original spreadsheet, but when I attempted to save a copy of the original document Libreoffice Calc crashed and rather than the new file being corrupted the original spreadsheet was corrupted.

How is it possible for a file which is already open, and Calc hasn't been instructed to edit, to become corrupted by saving a copy of it to another file?

The file which become corrupted when attempting to save a copy is attached. Since the Libreoffice Calc is unable to recover the file, please would someone attempt to recover this file.

Many thanks

What is wrong with the attached file? I can open it without problems and use "Save a copy" without problems.

I can't reproduce the issue.

Please test with a clean profile Menu/Help/Restart in Safe Mode, sometimes happen with software updates that the profile comes corrupted.
