Description Harold Cheyney 2021-02-22 22:19:51 UTC 
Description:
Libre Office 6.4, saving Libre Office Writer document in DOCX format on Linux Mint 20.1.  Next time I open the file I get an error message "Libre Office will attempt to recover the state of the files you were working on..."  Choices are START or DISCARD.  I close the dialog box with the x and get another error "Are you sure you want to discard".  I answer NO, the box goes away and the document opens.  It does not seem that recover is needed or happening.  Eliminate this?    

Actual Results:
Open Libre Office Writer.  Click OPEN.  Recovery message appears.  Click x at upper right hand corner.  "Are you sure.." message appears.  Click NO.  File opens.

Expected Results:
File opened


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
No recovery is needed.  The file is OK as opened.

Was able to fix this by running sudo apt upgrade.

Thank you for reporting the bug. It seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ or with a master build from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html? You can install master alongside the standard version. 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. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.

Linux Mint has been updated to 20.2.  Libre Office is now 6.4.7.2.   Recovery message still appears when opening some files.

Hard drive had bad blocks.  Replaced it with solid state drive.   This issue with libre office writer seems to have resolved.
