SUMMARY Unlike most software, if you modify something in a saved document, then revert this change, LO doesn’t remember that the document is identical to what is has already saved. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open a [new] file or save your current open document. 2. Change one or more things. 3. Cancel once or several times according to what you did in step 2. OBSERVED RESULT The Save (floppy disk) icon has a red dot showing the document has to be saved. If you want to close the document, LO will ask you to save it first. EXPECTED RESULT By reverting the changes, you brought the document in the original status, therefore it is identical to what is saved, thus there is no need to save. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 7 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Unlike LO, many software (should I mention its main competitor?) remember this correctly. Not having to save will avoid an unnecessary question if you opened (let’s say) a spreadsheet, filtered some data to check, reverted that, then you want to close the file. It will avoid unnecessary doubts from the user during the workflow (did I save the file when necessary?) And it saves time on big files or external devices if you have to save “just by precaution”.
I can't reproduce with: Version: 7.5.5.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: ca8fe7424262805f223b9a2334bc7181abbcbf5e CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded I opened a new document, wrote some text, undid and the status bar icon was reset to its "no change" state. I also tried with a previously-saved file. Can you please provide more precise steps, exactly what actions you used, for the problem to arrise? Once you provide those, you can set the status back to "unconfirmed". If the issue is about Calc, maybe it is already covered in bug 69972 Thank you!
Indeed, it doesn’ț seem to affect all the components, at least not Writer. I mostly use Calc, where this forever bug is very annoying on large documents. It also affects Impress, Draw, Math…
Thanks, maison. I can reproduce in Math: 1. Open Math 2. Type one character in Formula editor; alternatively, insert a symbol using the Elements pane. 3. Ctrl + Z and confirm that there is nothing left to undo (Undo button is greyed out) Result: Status icon is in its "unsaved" status. Closing the document prompts to save it. Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 94caaf5c9e2917a3202cf515d61eaa9399b2c2b5 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Same in OOo 3.3, so marking as inherited. Let's keep this one about the Math module. For Impress/Draw, we already have bug 93519. For Calc, we already have bug bug 69972.
