Step to reproduce: 1. Work on a document in LibreOffice. Save regularly. 2. Wait for a crash to happen (shouldn't take long) 3. The recovery window is showed. Launch the recovery process. Result: the document is recovered in a state as it was a few hours ago (the amount of work lost appears to be random). Expected result: the document should, at the very least, be in the state it was when saved for the last time. This happens every time the recovery window is showed. Workaround: refusing the recovery allows you to have the document as it was the last time you saved. Which is usually fine. In the end, the recovery window is a bug in itself and should be completely removed as long as we can't guarantee at 100% that the recovery is a state after the last save.
Hi, You mean that recovery function is not able to load the -last- autosave and loads autosaves from a few hours ago, right? So this bug meant to be the malfunction of this property to be fixed, not exterminating it. Btw, do you still have this problem? In my experiences think recovery is not to bad and it is able to recover the last autosave. Best regards, Zeki
1. The recovery code does *not* work. I've never witnessing anybody that told me "it works great". 2. There should not be any recovery windows at all. The document should open as it was when LibreOffice crashed, that's it. The recovery process is confusing (and, as pointed out above, does not work). In the current situation, not having anything at all (no recovery, no windows) would be far better.
Hi Lionel, it's an odd behavior. Have you tried resetting user profile? Please also inform your OS & upgrade LO to latest stable release (4.0.5.2 or 4.1.1.2) then report your result here.
Lionel: any update with last LO version (+ brand new LO profile) (I put another tracker on cc). Joren: I don't have much experience with recovery window, any opinion about this from what you experienced?
Please also check your settings at Tools > Options > Load and Save > General. 'Save AutoRecovery information every <time in minutes>' (roughly translated). No other experience with a malfunctioning Recovery process (LibreOffice doesn't crash here much, and if so I'm testing, not writing a text). Kind regards, Joren
