Bug Description

I've had a number of crashes with openoffice.org Writer recently (due to the Zotero bibliographic extension) and in each case when I've reopened it, it has restored a version of the file that was several hours old. I have it set to save AutoRecovery information every 2 minutes.

Does this happen to you every time that openoffice.org writer crashes or only when using the Zotero extension? A way to test would be to kill openoffice from the command line and see if it restores the current version or an old version of the file.

Thanks,

Chris Cheney

joehill, there are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu, as we have transitioned to LibreOffice. => Won't Fix

You are welcome to test for this problem in LibreOffice. If reproducible, please file a new report in a terminal:
ubuntu-bug libreoffice

For more on installing LibreOffice please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibreOffice .

Thank you for your understanding.
