            Bug ID: 141529
           Summary: Linked OLE: OLE content is changed independent from
                    hosting ocument
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: Armin.Le.Grand at me.com

While fixing aspect (2) of tdf#130945 I stumbled upon the following error:
Linked OLE gets modified independent from hosting document. In other words:
When embedding a linked OLE, activating & changing it (also possible: activate
& change size), deactivating, the OLE gets modified. This is not very intuitive
from user's view and even not very logic when the hosting file (e.g. a new
writer file) gets not saved itself. It would be much better to *synchronize*
changes to the linked OLE to changes/svaing of the file/document the OLE is
embedded to. Example:
- new Writer
- insert prepared calc OLE embedded
- activate it, change someting
- deactivate
- close Writer document without saving it
Result: prepared calc OLE is changed
Expected result: prepared calc OLE is *not* changed
-> A fix would need to couple saving of changed embedded OLEs to saving the
hosing document
