            Bug ID: 114508
           Summary: Confusing dialog about discarding recovery data can
                    lead to data loss
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.4.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: ddascalescu+freedesktop at gmail.com

Description:
My Ubuntu ran out of battery and LibreCalc crashed with three spreadsheets
open. When I restarted it, it asked about recovery information. I clicked one
of the sheets and then Discard.

What happened is that Calc discarded the recovery info for ALL the sheets,
losing me day's worth of data.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open 2+ spreadsheets
2. Crash Calc
3. Restart Calc
4. In the recovery dialog, click a spreadsheet you don't care about, then
Discard

Actual Results:  
All recovery information is discarded

Expected Results:
Only the recovery information of the clicked item is discarded.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Maybe my expectation was wrong, but this can happen to other users. My
suggestion would be to disallow selecting any of the spreadsheets in the list,
or make the Discard button act only on the selected items.
