Can help the options in Menu/Tools/Options/LibreOffice/Memory?. Defaults are too lows.

This definately seems to be the issue. I had been adding pics with the image cashe increased to 60mb, when I reached 63mb I started loosing pictures. Most worryingly I didn’t even get a ‘read error’ the pic was just not there, no space, no place holder. Now with cashe set to 160mb seems stable again. However another factor is what else is running, I found that if I was using 1-by-1 to play music in the background it caused more frequent errors, so that cashe is not inviolate - Vista 2GB RAM

Not fixed. It happened in LibreOffice 3.5.4.2 too.

I am having exactly the same problem. I am trying to make a diary of a vacation, including 90 or so pictures. The pictures are large. However every so often it will autosave, and at that point it will crash and then when I open it up, a bunch of pictures will have disappeared. I wonder if the problem has to do with memory, but I have 16GB of memory and am running Windows 8 64bit, so that doesn’t make sense - unless there is a setting somewhere I need to increase.

I have exactly the same problem in Impress and it seems to be still there in 3.6.4 under windows XP. It is happening for large presentations and frnakly becoming a show stopper since I prepare university lectures.

Seems the same as bug Bug #: 53227

Not resolved, I’m using LibreOffice Writer 3.5.6.2 on Windows 7 32-bits, and have the same problem.

Can a developer please help us and provide a fix?

Thank you,

Not resolved in LibreOffice Writer 4.0 on windows 7.

This is really an egregious bug on what, IMHO, is pretty basic functionality. Can we PLEASE get a fix checked in on this ASAP?

This is stilling happening sometimes, I create 2 photo album-like documents and crashed 3 times.

Besides, it’s somewhat difficult to create a photo album-like document.

Improve the image processing?

FYI- Seems to work much better if you save as MS Word 97/200/2003.

I had the same problem with NeoOffice and OpenOffice. I’ve just moved to LibreOffice 4.0.2.2 which seems much better in many respects (can create .docx) but images still sometimes disappear (not always, which makes it all the more puzzling). I work around the problem by creating and sending PDFs but it’s not really satisfactory.

Like the people above, I’d really appreciate a solution.

This is still happening in OpenOffice 4.0.3.3 but no longer seems to be a problem in NeoOffice 3.3 Patch 5 so I’ve switched back to NeoOffice.

This is still happening with

Version: 4.1.3.2
Build ID: 70feb7d99726f064edab4605a8ab840c50ec57a

On MacOS 10.9

I’m having exactly the same problem: images are disapearing after some open/save/close procedures. I get a “read error” instead of the image… since a lot of time

It’s really frustrating.

I’m currently using libreoffice 4.1.3.2 under Ubuntu 13.10 64bits (Intel Core i3 with 4GB of memory)

This is same problem what i faced, after writing 30 pages document with 15 network diagram this has happened. What I did is to import my document which is in .odt format to Google drive and downloaded in docx, or any other format… Now everything looks fine… We need the developer to fix this bug…

Still present in libreoffice 4.2.3.3 running on Ubuntu 14.04. Serious issue!

Just happened to me. It is almost like the headache we had with MS Words 15 years ago.
