Writer hangs trying to save document
I keep a Writer window open throughout the day where I paste info and links. Occasionally Writer hangs while trying to save the document. The only indication is a small spinning circle next to the file name at the top of the page.
The problem is, I may not notice the indicator and continue to paste text into the document. The page never saves, so I can lose all that new text.
I suspect it's a sign-in problem. Zoho remembers me from session to session, but only up to a point. I end up with a session that looks and acts like a properly authenticated session, but since I am no longer really authenticated new text is not saved.
I can get around this by opening Writer in another window and dragging the text from the eternally-saving window to the new document window.
If I do not notice the indicator and do not copy the text to another window, I lose it all.
it seems to me that the save operation should either succeed or it should fail. It shouldn't hang in an intermediate state.
