 Hah! You are correct! Just now, I did the same thing but went into
"File/Reload" which I rarely use the "File" method. I've been using the "click
and hold  on the open folder GUI button. It's quicker.

 I was about to yell at you 'cause I didn't try it that way the other day.

  I suppose it would have been nice if you had told me the step by step method
and explained to do it EXACTLY that way.
 Think of me as a beginner and I have been doing it "My Way". because I have
been doing it "My Way" for two years.

 I suppose, if I can find the time, I try this a few times AFTER saving it
under a different name in the hopes of having a good copy. The bugs I have
reported so far are extremely intermittent. Trying it just one time will not
work. As it says in the title of this bug..."Occasionally, LO Calc loses blocks
of comments"
