Description sampitt94 2014-04-01 01:04:14 UTC 
Problem description: Autosave is set to save every 5 minutes, but when the document is left idling, LO starts to autosave about every five seconds or so - autosaving takes much longer than it probably should and seems to happen multiple times, and sometimes if left long enough, LO will start autosaving infinitely many times, causing you to force the program to close and frequently losing data.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Set autosave to five minutes and "save document too" setting
2. Open new document
3. Make changes
4. Leave LO sitting for a few seconds

Current behavior: Overly frequent autosaving, saving multiple times per autosave, sometimes getting stuck in a loop where it never stops

Expected behavior: Autosaving once every five minutes

              
Operating System: Windows 8
Version: 4.2.2.1 release

Yes, but it can be reproduced WITHOUT IMPLYING AUTORECOVERY at all. It is sufficient to have an modified "untitled" open without saving for the loop to get triggered.
