            Bug ID: 137418
           Summary: DRAW - ODG fails to save after switching sheet and
                    editing selected sheet
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.1.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Draw
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: iplaw67 at tuta.io

Description:
Using:
* macOS Catalina 10.15.7
* LibreOffice Version: 7.0.1.2
Build ID: 7cbcfc562f6eb6708b5ff7d7397325de9e764452

Editing ODG file drawings has become fraught with frustration.
Using a multi-page Draw file.
The Draw file contains anywhere between 2 to 8 pages/sheets.
Each sheet contains one or more inserted images (PNG/TIFF/SVG), each of which
is numbered using a Bezier curve to point to a particular part of the image,
and then a text box to add reference number.

I can quite happily make multiple changes to a sheet, and save them. However,
when I switch from a previously edited sheet to a different sheet, I can again
make multiple edits, but if I try to save the file e.g. Cmd-S or File > Save, I
get an error message indicating that the file could not be written. The only
alternative is to quit LO, losing all the changes I've made since the last save
and start again.

Using Save as... doesn't work (this is a known bug on macOS).

It is intensely frustrating, coupled with the recently acquired slowness to
distraction of Draw when editing anything containing more than about 5 objects.

This is also a regression over the 6.4.x line, which did not have such
undesirable behaviour.


Steps to Reproduce:
See above description

Actual Results:
The save procedure should occur normally.

Expected Results:
The changes to the file should be saved.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
The save operation should complete normally, and not fail with some vague and
unhelpful error message, or else it should say why it failed in the message.
