Description:
I was working with LO Writer yesterday to write a "letter to Editor" type of document in Pop!_OS . . . I simply wanted to change the file name, rather than "save as" into a new file.  I used the right click on doc to "rename" the document, which, rather than "renaming" the original document, "saved it as" another document.  I didn't realize that and continued to make edits in what I thought would be the "renamed" document . . . it wasn't until I checked the new file to confirm edits made, that I saw that the new doc contained **some** of the edits, but not all of them.  The old file name had the edits???

Had to manually go back and re-re-edit the new file to get them all in.

Actual Results:
"renaming" file acted like "save as" and created new file, but did not put edits made in the new file.

Expected Results:
File would be "renamed" and edits made would be included in it.


Reproducible: Didn't try


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
File should "rename" the file and make edits in that file.
