Re: [libreoffice-users] Save auto recovery information

My beef with autosave is that it seems to start saving just as I start 
typing and it does not save my keystrokes while it is saving and I don't 
notice it is saving. I end up after the autosave, having to evaluate 
what keystrokes worked and what didn't, and redoing the keystrokes that 
got ignored. I still find the autosave benefits outweigh these 
aggravations, though, so I have it enabled all the time.
