Description Tom 2022-04-04 11:43:05 UTC
Description:
After updating to 7.3, the save function seems to be completely broekn in the current version. Changes I made pop up again when I open a document I just saved shortly before it. Tables move to strange places and all the work I did is gone time afetr time. I'm trying to finish my dissertation of around 440 pages and 100 tables with this tool but it seems to be completely broken after the latest update. If I could go back in time, I would buy Microsoft Word.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a complex document, change it and save it.
2. Open it again.
3. See that some changed did not get changed.

Actual Results:
Changes did not get saved. Tables move, paragraphs reappear and so on...

Expected Results:
That the document is changed when I open it again.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Can I still downgrade to 6.x without losing tables or figures?
One of my figures saved in 6.x was destroyed in 7.3 after updating to it....
