            Bug ID: 136126
           Summary: FILESAVE Bad linking of file data between instances
                    during autosaves
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.1.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Using simultaneous instances of LibreOffice, the auto-save feature runs the
risk of transferring and linking data from one instance to the other, which
results in a lot of errors.  This is fixed by simply pressing CTRL+Z on both
instances on the sheets affected.

The biggest cause of this appears to be when the auto-saving takes several
seconds because the files are large (several MB each) and there seems to be an
interpretation that as it initiates the auto-save that I am selecting the
entire sheet to be dragged somewhere.  This can result in no problems if the
mouse pointer does not leave the window.  However, especially when the
auto-save appears unexpected and you going between instance windows.

Due to the sizes of the files (30 MB each) in which I experience this,
including an attachment is perhaps not advised.  It would perhaps be easier to
use auto-fill to create some large files that will be cumbersome enough to
recreate the effect.
