Screenshot showing words that had been added shown as deletions.

I am finding Writer 24.2.2.2 crashing a few times a day, while I am editing a document.  Of most concern is that, when I re-open the document  - it doesn't always give me the choice of Document Recovery - I find that a lot of edits I added shortly before the crash being shown as deletions. (See screenshot.)  Consequently, I have to review the whole document to find and reject these deletions.  That there may a large number of unintended deletions is, needless to say, worrying.

NB I don't have the permissions, but I think this needs to be flagged as Major, or even Critical.  

Thanks and regards
