This may be a good project for me to participate in, along with people
who know AOO internals. I have a lot of practical experience with
tracking down and fixing extremely obscure intermittent bugs in
operating systems and prototypes of cache coherent multiprocessor
servers, so I'm not scared of them.
Now getting AOO to build on Windows 8.1......

A side effect of curing this problem may be an increase in time taken to Save
OpenOffice files. In writing an OpenOffice ODF file the last component written
to the user profile is file registrymodifications.xcu (work of Forum volunteer
John_Ha - reference available if required). This file is frequently damaged by
premature shutdown; damage to it is a reason for the frequently reported loss
of spellchecking. John_Ha has also located possible reasons for oft-reported
loss of illustrations.
if this is true and someone has really identified the root cause and a
fix for our "my spellchecker is broken" issue, then we have our first
showstopper - regardless what version number is next.

It sounds like that is what we should be working on, if we continue to offer

Is there a Bugzilla # on this?

I did find in options that in Options\Load Save\General “Always create
a
backup copy” was not checked. This should be checked by default. :(
a) There is an extremely obscure, semi-inconsistently ir-reproducible
bug in AOo, EO, and LibO that is triggered when "Always create backup
copy" is checked. This bug both destroys data, and prevents the backup
copy from being made.
b) Manually saving the file is superior to automated backup, precisely
one can save it to different folders, and thus rollback to earlier
states is possible. (I'm deliberately ignoring OoSVN here.)
