            Bug ID: 118331
           Summary: "Save as ..." fails when working with more than one
                    version
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.4.6.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
Writing a long text separated in various chapters, I save all chapters in one
directory as e.g. "1-introduction.odt", "2-continued-text.odt" and so on.
Additionally, I save copies with a timestamp in the their name in a
subdirectory, e.g. "20180623-1-introduction.odt". If then working on with the
timestamped version, when trying to finally again save it as
"1-introduction.odt" and later opening this, all changes made in the
timestamped version are lost in the not-timestamped version, while they are
saved only in the timestamped version in the subdirectory. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write a text an save it as "name.odt" in a directory.
2. Create a subdirectory, e.g. "backup", and save a copy of the document from
1. in there, named "yyyymmdd-name.odt".
3. Change the document "yyyymmdd-name.odt" from the subdirectory, choose "save
as ..." and save it as "name.odt" in the higher directory, result: Changes lost
in "name.odt".

Actual Results:
Changes got lost when repeatedly changing between two document versions by
using the "save as ..." dialogue. 

Expected Results:
original document ought to show the changes made in the backup-document after
saving the latter by "save as ..." under the original name again. 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
