I did now. Reproduced there, but someone (you?) pushed my patch so
*now* one cannot reproduce it anymore.

I also took the liberty of adding you to the CC list for the bug. I
did not go as far as assigning it to you ;-)

I added a testcase file and *very* detailed instructions to the bug.

Fixed (by me) in master.

Fixed (by me) in master for calc and writer, commit
7f3a944146879d2f0e6ee3f69cf721eb14f18689. I notice that calc and
writer have the good sense of displaying an error message when an
exception is raised during save. That's better than Base, that just
silently aborts the save with no error message.

However, calc seems to get very confused and disables (greys out) the
save, close file, quit application, etc features :-|
