Description: Using LibreOffice 6 I had recorded and saved several Basic macros in Writer (Library Standard Module1). Now in LibreOffice 7.3 I tried to record and save a simple macro. It works while I am using the program, but if the system closes the program, the macro is not saved. This behaviour is new in version 7.3 I have also updated to Ubuntu 22 on my Slimbook laptop Essential15. Steps to Reproduce: 1.record and save a macro 2. let Ubuntu close down all programs 3.restore Writer file and test the macro Actual Results: Click icon to record macro in Writer press space bar stop recording save macro in Library Standard Module1 as "sp" CTRL-S to save file Assign "sp" to key CTRL-[space] test by pressing CTRL-[space] -- successful Allow computer to close down and close all programs automatically Turn on computer and restore all active Writer files -- succeeds Test the macro by pressing CTRL-[space] in any text -- fails, with error message that the macro "sp" cannot be found. Expected Results: macro "sp" should appear in list of defined macros Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Manually closing the file and re-opening it did not remove the problem. I will try manually quitting LibreOffice. I do not know why Ubuntu is closing down -- I would normally expect it to Suspend and keep files open. But in any case I never had this problem for LibreOffice 6 even when Ubuntu closed the application and I had to recover the files. I have not tried resetting my profile
(In reply to William from comment #0) > Click icon to record macro in Writer > press space bar > stop recording > save macro in Library Standard Module1 as "sp" > CTRL-S to save file You don't specify where you are saving the macro in. You mention Ctrl-S to save file, but if you save the macro into My Macros, it will not be tied to any document. I think that what you want is to have the macro + keyboard shortcut work globally, so you don't want to tie it to any single document. I can kill LibreOffice just fine after saving the macro to My Macros and assigning to a shortcut, because the information is written to the disk. Please clarify.
