Hi :)
Congrats on fixing it! Now you see why it's so difficult to pin-down what the problem is.  

Microsoft have every Tuesday as "Patch Tuesday".  I think they copied the idea from Symantec 
(Norton) a few years ago.  Symantec use Thursdays.  It makes it easier and more predictable for 
Sys.Admins  rather than being completely unpredictable.  Patches and updates do sometimes break 
things so it's nice to know when they are going to happen.  Obviously if there is a really serious 
threat that they develop a patch for they sometimes release it asap rather than waiting but for the 
most part they stick to holding patches back until the next Tuesday.  

I suspect it's more to do with rebooting, or perhaps just restarting just LO after turning off the 
auto back-ups.  
Anyway, congrats and regards from 
Tom :)

The problem is solved. I increased memory as was suggested 
and that fixed it. The strange thing is, I reverted back to 
the old memory settings and it's still fixed. Don't know 
why. There was a Windows update this evening. I wonder if 
that had anything to do with it and it wasn't a LO issue at all?

Steve!  I think that was the trick the Docs Team mentioned!  Turn off
the auto-back-ups and stuff.  Just remember to save often and make
your own back-ups.  Regards from
Tom :)
Turned off everything on the options/load-save/general page, still no
help.

Hi.
I have had this with EPS drawings (with/without preview) for a long
time. For those to not cause a problem I turn off
Options>Load/Save>General>Save auto recovery information.
Just a suggestion, you could give it a try.

Well, I may wait for 4.0.3 and see if that fixes anything. I did
check the bugs list and I don't see my specific bug mentioned, but
it may manifest itself in different ways, so maybe it will be
fixed in 4.0.3.

The bug that makes LO 4 unusable for me is drawings no longer save
when pasted into Writer (exit LO, re-open the document, and the
drawings are gone). A significant amount of my work involves making
drawings in LO Draw and using them in Writer documents. What I have
been doing as a workaround is pasting screenshots of the drawings
into Writer.

Thanks for all the replies...

Hi :)
I found this link on the official website
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/
I got there from the main website
http://www.libreoffice.org/
then the trail
"Main website" - "Get involved" - "QA"

got me to

Hmm, you caught me out.  What i described is what i wish i did and
i
keep promising myself i will do next time, this time, each time
but
never quite get around to it.  Errr, well tried the 4.0.0 fairly
early but really liked it and stuck with it.  I was going to hunt
around the different articles published at the time to solve
problems
raised in their various lists of comments.  A few seemed so very
trivial that it made me wonder if the commenter had ever installed
anything before.  Sadly i didn't even get through that let alone
helping with testing out listed bugs.  So, this time i really have
downloaded the beta. Hopefully my good intentions wont get so
side-tracked this time!


Regards from

Tom :)

Do you have a link to the beta versions? I have the opensuse
version of 4.0.2 with latest update (yesterday) and 4.0.2 from
LibreOffice parallel
installed. Both had same two major problems for me since my
cleints now usually send .docx documents and I do alot of table
formatting with the number formatting columns, some of it
doesn't work again.

If I could get a hold of 4.0.3 and if it still has the problems
I'll
report them again as bugs.
