Problem description: When saving "big" file, the saving time is long, maybe last for 5 or more seconds. During the long saving time, I can do nothing but waiting. I think this is wasting time. So I hope Libreoffice could allow "typing while saving". Note: I do not mean "Saving while typing". I do mean that while Libreoffice is saving a file, it provides a buffer to gather what I type, and this buffer will write into the open document file when next time I press Ctrl+S. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create an new odt file. 2. Paste many many pictures, the more the better. 3. Press Ctrl+S to save the file, you would see Libreoffice take lots of time to save, but what you can do is "just wait". Current behavior: During the saving time, I can do nothing. Expected behavior: While saving file, Libreoffice provide a buffer to allow typing.

It's interesting that in 2012, the submitter gave 5 seconds as an example of a long time to save for a big document. In 2020, I find that saving a big document can often take 30 seconds. Which means that if I'm not looking at the screen while I'm typing and autosave kicks in, I can lose whole sentences, even a paragraph. I have experienced that. Fortunately, most of the paragraph is fresh enough in my mind that I can usually remember most of it.

11 years later, on a powerful Linux laptop, I still experience ~5-second save times for spreadsheets with around 10k lines and 10-15 columns. On the other hand, due to the occurrence of crashes, I have setup autosave every 3 minutes, so 5 seconds every 3 minutes does become annoying. Is input disabled so the code can save a stable current state of the document, or has saving simply not been moved to a different thread so as not to block input?
