minus-squareLordAmplifierlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20·1 day agoIs this a Microsoft joke that I’m too LibreOffice to understand? A bug in Microsoft 365 version 2409 is auto-deleting Word documents while saving. The bug affects those documents that have capitalized “DOCX” file extension or include “#” in the file name. Thankfully, the file is moved to the Recycle Bin which can be restored. For now, you can rename the file extension to avoid the bug. That’s interesting. I don’t know anything about programming, but it’s always funny how a small change somewhere can break software like this.
