Problem description: The program repeatedly greys out then becomes active, then again greys out ect. This happens repeatedly. Steps to reproduce: 1. Set 'save auto recovery information' to every 1 minute (from the settings menu [Load/Save]) + with 'automatically save the document' 2. open a new spreadsheet without saving it 3. continue to use/input data into the spreadsheet where ever at your will 4. after the 1 minute is up, the program will produce a cycle of grey outs (I think its because it doesn't know where to save) + (on a separate note, once a comment has been inserted into a cell, and then when I try to hover over it.. it shows an empty comment box. Current behaviour: Program goes in to a grey out cycle for a while Expected behaviour: Asks user to choose a save destination so it doesn't misbehave due to it not knowing what to do with the document without a save location. Operating System: Windows 8 Version: 4.1.4.2 release

Priority highest is reserved for MABs, please see: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/MAB on when a bug qualifies for that. Thus keeping this on priority high.
I don't experience this issue in LibO 4.3.5.2 (Windows 7). I set the 'save autorecovery information' to every 1 minute and checked the 'automatically save the document' too. I waited for 6-7 minutes. Everything works fine. I guess it solved, but you should check as well and it works fine you can put to 'resolved' this bug.
