Brief video example of the save loop

Since I set my preferences to save every two minutes, I have experienced this bug both on Writer and Calc. It occurs when I am working on a document that I have not yet saved. Out of nowhere, in the middle of editing a document, LibreOffice suddenly begins saving repeatedly.

A lot of CPU power is used; the system fans come on while this is occurring.

The problem can be stopped immediately if one chooses File - Save As, but sometimes the program will not let you do that.

I do not know the precise steps to reproduce this bug, but I will post them here if I find them.

I forgot to set the file type.

did you try modify the auto-save time? do things change if you set the value from 2 minutes to 4 minutes?

please, indicate which LibO release do you experience the bug.
did the bug appear even in previous version?
Comment 3 Linus Drumbler 2013-11-05 03:54:07 UTC
I did not experience it in previous versions, and only after changing the save time.
Comment 4 Linus Drumbler 2013-11-05 03:59:02 UTC
I will set my preferences to save every four minutes and see if I still experience the bug.
