            Bug ID: 111983
           Summary: no save please when there is no changes but just links
                    updated
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.4.0.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Fist I must say I hate you. I just lost hours of work.

I have a calc file to fill and other calc files with data I need to read to
fill the first file. 

I have 2 computers, I run "ssh -X main_computer" from the small computer to
open the first file and I want to open other files on the screen of the main
computer. Guess what, when I run "libreoffice file.ods" from my main computer
it opens it on the screen of the small computer where LibreOffice is already
running...

Two computers, two screen but I all windows of LibreOffice goes to the same
screen... Well I can work so I worked but without this bug I wouldn't have lost
my work. 

Each time I open a file because there are links to other documents it seems
LibreOffice thinks the document changed. When I close it, it asks if I want to
save BUT THERE IS NO CHANGES. So I say "Don't save" (if I say save, then git
wants me to commit changes...).

Now you can imagine what happened after hours of work, I closed by mistake the
main file I was filling and when it asked me if I want to save, I said "Don't
save"...

So, don't ask to save a file when nothing changed or we still say "Don't save"
when something did change !!! Updating from other files does not mean changes.
Try that :

* open a file with links to other files
* say yes to file links should be updated 
* save your file and quit
* reopen the same file
* say again yes to update links
* close (Crtl-W) and see, it asks if you want to save even if nothing changed.
