- Please, tell us the following information:

        - Version of LibreCAD you use.

        - Operating system on which LibreCAD is running.

        - Details about what you have done to get this behaviour.


- Notes:

        - LibreCAD "DXF" filename that have a '#' prefix is a recovery
          file.

        - LibreCAD "DXF" filename that have a '~' suffix (".dxf~")
          is an auto-backup file.


- Remarks:

        - Never edit a "recovery file", neither an "auto-backup" file.

        - Remark: Really can not understand how you can make LibreCAD
          to create a file that is both a "recovery file" and an
          "auto-backup" file !?!?
          This is almost impossible to me, since recovery file and
          auto-backup file are too completely different things.
