            Bug ID: 125401
           Summary: FILESAVE: Saving a document creates a new file (new
                    inode number) thereby messing-up with the creation
                    time of the document
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice

Description:
With LibreOffice 6.2.3.2 on Mint 19.1 Cinnamon

I have tested with Writer, Calc and Impress, and the problem is present with
each program.

When one opens an existing document, upon saving (whether or not changes have
been made) instead of updating the content and modification date of the file, a
new file is created (new inode number) and the creation time of the document is
changed to the saved/modification time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an existing document
2. Save it as is
3. Check the timestamps in the file explorer
   and/or
   check the inode and timestamps in command line using:
   1- `stat \path\to\document
   2- `sudo debugfs -R 'stat /path/to/document' /dev/sdXn | grep crtime 

Actual Results:
The inode number is modified.
The creation time is updated.

Expected Results:
The inode number should stay the same.
The creation time should not be updated.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
