Description:
Last day I saved a document. Today I opened Libre Office (Version 1:6.4.7-0ubuntu0.20.04.2) and it asked if I want to repair my document. (I use Lithuanian language, so I am not sure about English version of this action name). This question confused me as I remembered I saved document before leaving. Luckily I made a hard copy of this document and then positively answered to Libre Office question. Libre Office opened old version of my document. About 4 hours of job was lost. I closed this document without any change. Then opened again. This time Libre Office opened correct version of document. It was very unpleasant experience to note how easy I could lost my job. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write a document. Spent at least few hours on it.
2. Save. Close. 
3. Next day open.

Actual Results:
I guess you should see a suggestion to repair a document.

Expected Results:
An old version of document was opened


Reproducible: Always

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/ ? 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.
