Description jim 2014-01-28 12:38:45 UTC
Problem description: 
I have a very large spreadsheet {question terminology here - workbook} with a lot of sheets {spreadsheets} (FILE1.xls) which had caused a crash ("Block position not found" - during a row insert - bug to be reported separately).
In order to try to remove sensitive information and submit the spreadsheet to report the bug I saved the spreadsheet as FILE2.xls
The Title Bar showed correctly FILE2.xls
The error condition occurred again now in FILE2.xls and LO-calc closed.
When I started LO-calc again it showed FILE1.xls needed to be recovered - not FILE2.xls

If I close all instances of LO-calc and then open File2.xls, cause the crash and restart LO-calc then FILE2.xls is (correctly) shown as needing to be recovered,

Steps to reproduce:
1. ....
2. ....
3. ....

Current behavior:

Expected behavior:

              
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.2.0.4 rc

Can you replicate this without the complicated document by just killing the process with blank sheets or nearly blank sheets? Marking as NEEDINFO - with the given instructions it's really hard to try to reproduce so try to simplify the cause and then report in easy to read reproducible steps:

1. Open spreadsheet
2. Write ;kjas;kfjsdf in A1
3 . . .


Thank you for your understanding - we have nearly a thousand bugs to get through and the simpler the instructions are the more we can move through.


Once you provide easy steps mark as UNCONFIRMED and we'll go from there. Thanks!
