Description Lew 2021-07-12 21:47:28 UTC
Description:
Since Oct 2020 I've kept a Writer file with screen clips of stock charts to study price behavior. 83 pages. Landscape, usually one clip per page. Sometimes I add drawings (arrows, lines, rectangles, text) onto/over the clip. Never any problems. Other LO files open. Today -- in the middle of a session -- I lost almost all of the screen clips. It still had the normal Writer text, drawings -- and some old screen clips. I saw it when I switched to that window, and they were gone. In place of the last one, I saw "Read error" where the upper left of the clip had been. I closed LO and tried the file again. The "Read error" message was gone, but still no clips. I rebooted the machine and tried again. Still no charts. I was able to add another chart where I had planned to, and it persists when I close/open LO. But all the other ones are still gone. (This is a 64 bit Intel i7-10750H CPU, not AMD64 as in the Hardware menu.)

Actual Results:
No screen clips appear

Expected Results:
Screen clips should appear


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: Yes

The caption for "Version Information" could be "Click here for Version version information". I just took a chance clicking the icon. When I take chances like that, it doesn't always go well, so I like explicit instructions. I'm glad that LO hasn't given me much cause to do this.

"Reproducible" should be all the time.
Comment 2 Lew 2021-07-12 23:32:48 UTC
A backup version of the file is clean, and I'm using that now.

This looks grave. But as a report is of little value because:
1. bug has no steps to be reproducible 
2. there were other image loss bugs (please search also closed) that were also closed. 

Sorry, but I don't see action here so it can only be closed.
