Hi all.
A very odd problem just occurred, which has caused something of a major
document loss for my wife.
She had quite a lengthy Writer document - around 18,000 words - and was
editing it. She seems to have hit something odd on the keyboard, and
looking at the screen, the document was empty. She called me through to
assist - indeed the document was empty, yet there was nothing at all in
the undo/redo stack.
I checked by dumping out content.xml (empty but lots of internal style
definitions) and looked for any .bak files under ~/.config/libreoffice -
present, but again, empty documents.
She has an old version, about 4000 words shorter, so things could be
worse. But I can't for the life of me understand what might cause loss
of all text with no evidence of what happened.
Any thoughts would be welcome please. (Yes, we have tightened up on
backups!) Thanks.
(Linux mint 22.1; LO whatever is current, probably 24.2.7)
