I guess I wasn't explicit enough.


1. Ensure LibreOffice is closed
2. Open LibreOffice; ensure no recovery dialog comes up (otherwise handle
recovery and return to step 1)
3. Close LibreOffice
4. Open a mail client (say, Thunderbird).
5. View a message with an attachment document you can open with LibreOffice
Writer (if you don't have one - send yourself one).
6. Open the file (e.g. by double-clicking it - but this depends on your OS and
desktop environment of course); this should launch LO writer with the document
7. Determine where the temporary file LO has opened is located (on Linux and
with Thunderbird this might be under /tmp/mozilla_yourname0/the_file )
8. kill the LO process - aggressively (e.g. with kill -9 if you're on
Linux/BSD/Mac; I'm not sure End Process on Windows is enough)
9. Remove the copy of the file from wherever it is located
10. Launch LO.

Expected results: No recovery dialog is opened, or a dialog is opened
indicating already the special case of a temporary file which is no longer
present.

Actual Results: A recovery dialog is opened, like for any other document; and
the attempted recovery reports a failure.
