Description Harald Koester 2012-08-01 12:24:12 UTC 
Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
(1) Start LibreOffice and set Option „LibreOffice > Security > Options... > Remove personal information on saving”.
(2) Open new text document.
(3) Insert some words
(4) Save and close new document.
(5) Reopen it again.
(6) Display properties (File > Properties...): Total editing time: 00:00:00. Expected: Time period of steps (2) to (4). Problem already described at bug 53034. Then Cancel.
(7) Reset option „LibreOffice > Security > Options... > Remove personal information on saving”.
(8) Insert some more words. Save and close new document.
(9) Reopen document and display properties. Total editing time is still 00:00:00. Expected: Editing time not equal to 00:00:00
Comment: Here you can argue, that the editing time belongs to the personal information. But I do not think this.
(10) Insert some more words. Save and close new document.
(11) Reopen document and display properties. Total editing time is still 00:00:00. Expected: Editing time not equal to 00:00:00. 
Comment: Even if you think, that the editing time belongs to the personal information, here the editing time should be different to 00:00:00.

You can repeat the steps (10) and (11) again and again, the editing time remains at 00:00:00. From my point of view it is not possible to get an editing time different than 00:00:00, if a document was created when the mentioned option is set.

I checked the mentioned behaviour only with writer. But I assume, that the behaviour is identical with the other LibreOffice components.

I can confirm this on OS X 10.8.4 and LO 4.1.0.1.

Setting to NEW.

Comment 3 Robert Negut 2013-07-21 12:10:56 UTC 
Since my report was filed as a duplicate to this, answering here the question posted there: Yes, it still happens in 4.0.x, and as I said there, it doesn't appear to have anything to do with setting the "remove personal information on saving" option, as I don't have that set.

Ever since the bug first appeared, I had some 15 hours added to the total editing time of a file I've probably had open for some 1000 hours during this period. Still have no idea what triggers those rare moments when it works as it should.

Also, adding a screenshot of the properties of an entirely new file created just now. Exact same thing, 5 times, created in different folders. 35 seconds of edit time and 2 revisions showing up out of nowhere, but before that notice what it says about created and last modified date. What's up with that? (After typing some words in it and saving, revisions increase by one, modified date and time updates correctly, total editing time remains unchanged, created date remains that weird one saying 2009. Exact same one, to the second, every time.)
