I have lost a lot of work a few times by forgetting to save my document. To remedy that situation, I have LibreOffice set to autosave every two (2) minutes. This works great and, since implementation, I have not lost my work.

My issue comes when I begin a brand new document. If I do not save the document with a working title within the first two minutes, LibreOffice Writer freezes up as it tries to autosave the document. The autosave progress bar on the bottom of the screen keeps flashing from left to right, but nothing is saved and it is impossible to add text to the document. I cannot even click File >> Save As. The only remedy is to close Writer, and then I am prompted to save the document.

I don't use Calc, Impress, etc. enough to know if this is a Writer-specific issue. Any advice would be great!

I am using LibreOffice 4.2.6.3 on a Windows 7, 32bit system.

Hi,

This bug is already fixed for ver. 4.3.2, and should be also part of the upcoming 4.2.7 release.
