--- Comment #11 from D Schumann <trask768 at gmail.com> ---
I have had the same error several different times over the past month or two.
I'm using 6.1.6.3 on Arch Linux.

All saves are to the local hard drive. I suspect (but don't know for sure) that
they are related to .docx or .xlsx files. I am taking a course where the
instructor requires submissions of assignments in .docx format, so I am saving
assignments in .docx format.

I click "Save" and Libreoffice says "General Input/Output Error", and freezes
up. I have to kill libreoffice, and then when it starts up again, it goes
through the recovery steps, acts as if the document was recovered successfully,
but shows the last successfully saved version of a document.

I have lost days worth of work from the error, and I think it should be
elevated in status. The most frustration aspect of this error is that once the
"General Input/Output Error" pops up, I do not have the option of saving the
document to a different format or under a different filename. This is a major
failure of the software, in my opinion.

One other thing - when this happens, it's clear that Libreoffice had problems
with autosaving the document, but did not warn of the failure. This too is a
major failure.

I am going to try working with the documents in native .odt format and seeing
if that fixes this problem, but I am hoping that you will elevate the problem
and also add better error handling to the autosave and save functionality of
Libreoffice.

My issue sounds identical to Stanislav's. Local hard drive. No need to delete
profile to start saving again, just kill and restart. Changes lost since last
successful save.
