I've continued to experience the same crash at least once and sometimes several times a day, although not always with faulty recovery of old autosaved files. Please note that even though two bugs have been marked as duplicates of this one, they're reporting on two separate problems-- one is a persistent crash (reported in this bug and in 1180244) and the other is the fact that LibreOffice sometimes recovers autosaved files that are several days older than the manually saved version of the file (reported in this bug and in 1174595). This bug reports both problems because they happened at the same time--LibreOffice crashed, which then necessitated recovering files, although I don't imagine both problems have the same cause.

I've since commented out the offending line in Apport. A few days ago while using a calc spreadsheet, LibreOffice crashed, and when I opened it again, it restored a backup file that was several hours old. It also restored an old version of a Writer file. I closed both and found that in both instances I had saved much more recent versions using ctrl-S. Today the same thing happened, but unfortunately it was much worse, recovering a backup file that was several days old. Because of these frequent crashes, I've gotten into the habit of hitting Ctrl-S non- stop, and I immediately did so and saved the document. That one move lost me all my writing over the past 3 days, and the file immediately synched to Ubuntu One so my own backup no longer exists. Strangely, in the same crash LibreOffice restored the most recent edits of another file I had recently edited. So even within the same crash it doesn't revert all documents to very old versions. Please fix this--I really can't use LibreOffice if the backup function destroys my work despite my constant saving and backing up to Ubuntu One.
