            Bug ID: 133330
           Summary: FILESAVE
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Draw
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

I've been using LibreOffice Draw since its first releases and there is one bug
that continually annoys me and which seemingly never gets fixed--freezes during
file saving. 

It affects almost every version of LibreOffice Draw, including 6.4.4.2 which I
am currently using.

I am using Xubuntu 20.04 LTS but it has also affected every other LTS version I
have used.

- It is not a "feature" as so many people here try to offer.
- Starting with a new profile does not fix the problem.
- Using the "official" Ubuntu repo version does not fix the problem.
- Using the latest "Snap" version does not fix the version.
- Using the latest LibreOffice deb release does not fix the problem.
- It can affect any document, whether simple or complex.

The problem is that sometimes LibreOffice completely freezes. It can take 2-5
minutes for the save to complete and the application to continue working again.
Sometimes it can completely freeze the operating system requiring a cold
restart (and losing the changes in the document i.e. the save was not
successful).

The behaviour is somewhat random. You can save a document and it completes the
task instantly. Then you can change a word in a sentence and it saves properly
again. Change another word and try to save and it freezes. It is like some sort
of race condition where the save operation cannot be completed.

A search on Google will show the same bug affects the other applications in the
suite. 

I don't want people to tell me to do the same things we have all tried. I don't
want to be flamed by LO fanboys either. LibreOffice Draw is an awesome
application and I use it everyday for work and fun. But this is a serious bug
and it is so annoying that I consider giving up and returning to Scribus or
setting up a virtual windows environment just to go back to Microsoft
Publisher.

It's a long standing bug that needs sorting out.

Thanks.
