Description: I recently updated to LO 7.1.5.2 and discovered I could not Save the document I edited. I've encountered similar problems with other recent updates. My solution? I reverted to LO 6.4.7.2. I keep a copy of that DMG for "just in case". The older version of LO works just fine.I think I will remain with the old version from here on out. BTW, I'm using OS 10.15.7 with a Late 2012 Mac Mini. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open a previously created document 2.Edit/cange text 3.Attempt to "Save As" 4. Result: new document not saved and spinning POD (Pizza Wheel of Death) appears for about 10 seconds then disappears. Actual Results: Cannot create a new saved document. LO continues to operate properly after POD disappears. Expected Results: No edited document is saved. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: [Information automatically included from LibreOffice] Locale: en-US Module: TextDocument [Information guessed from browser] OS: Mac OS X (All) OS is 64bit: no

I apologize for note updating my Post. The problem was RESOLVED by Allowing Full Disk Access.
Am not convinced that this is NOTABUG. The LO application bundle should either come with the required permissions on installation, or else it should bring up a dialog for the user, per Apple's security guidelines, asking whether the user specifically grants access to those folders: https://support.apple.com/fr-fr/guide/security/secddd1d86a6/web The answer given by the Ask link is a workaround. LibreOffice doesn't correctly implement Apple's security access policy - that's a bug IMHO. Apple's security policy also indicates that apps should re-affirm disk access to previously configured folders. LibreOffice doesn't do this for all of the folders which it attempts to access. Confirming.
