Writer hangs trying to save document

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.
