--- Comment #46 from Geoff <geoffreception at aol.co.uk> ---
I encountered the lost data in cells bug on a Windows 10 machine. Wordpad,
provided with earlier versions of Windows, is still available in Windows 10.

I opened the file in Wordpad, which displayed a message "Wordpad does not
support all the features of this document's format. Some content might be
missing or displayed improperly." It worked in my case. I then saved the file
to a new name as open document text, opened the new file in LibreOffice Writer,
saved it then reopened it.  It seems to have recovered.  In technical terms I
would not like to say what is going on.

LibreOffice Version: 7.0.6.2 (x64)
Build ID: 144abb84a525d8e30c9dbbefa69cbbf2d8d4ae3b
CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win
Locale: en-GB (en_GB); UI: en-US
Calc: CL

For systems other than Windows, there may be an alternative to Wordpad that can
provide recovery. I don't know. There are alternatives to Wordpad listed at
https://alternativeto.net/software/wordpad/?license=free otherwise the file
could be transferred to a Windows 10 machine and hopefully recovered there.
