            Bug ID: 108186
           Summary: Auto-Save fails to lock out UI
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.3.3.2 release
          Hardware: x86 (IA32)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: timbacontent at gmail.com

Description:
Auto-save fails to lock out user UI actions before saving and aborts them
awkwardly, sometimes with severe delay and the appearance of a crash

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set auto-save to a very short duration to shorten reproduction testing time
2. Work normally on formatting


Actual Results:  
1. dialog boxes are partially redrawn
2. program appears to hang (it will eventually recover)
3. sometimes a command is wrongly applied - for example, you select a cell,
then go to the formatting toolbar, and click in the font field. Because of
another active bug, the act of clicking fails to select all, so a user who
spends a lot of time with the program will reflexively type Ctrl-A immediately
after click in the font field. But the autosave has garbled the UI and the
control-A gets applied to the whole document, then hangs, and all sorts of
other trouble ensues.

Expected Results:
1. Whatever command is already in progress when the auto-save kicks in should
be allowed to complete before the auto-save operation begins.

2. User commands should be ignored (with or without a warning dialog) during
the auto-save.


Reproducible: Sometimes

User Profile Reset: No
