Cannot Click "Recover Selected" In Document Recovery

image

Last night I shut down my computer instead of closing Libre Office directly and now I can’t click the recover selected or the discard all buttons in the document recovery window, effectivelyt softlocking me out of writer entirely.

I’ve tried to update libre to see if that would fix the issue - it did not.

Update: Ive managed to click the button but now its frozen.

Out of interest, what is the default path that is used to restore recovered documents? Maybe I could fix it by deleting the recovery?

will depend on your config/ OS → Ask/Guide - How to use the Ask site - The Document Foundation Wiki #More_details
