Description:
When working with a big calc sheet and a shorter text document in Windows, the following issue had been observed:
While working with the text document, the calc document was auto-saving (taking a long time), and I was unable to work with the text document.
It seems there is some global lock that prevents working on documents independently (even on a 8-core CPU).
Disk waits should not be an issue as the system is using M.2 SSD.
Auto-saving a different document should not block working on a different document.
I am using the portable version of LibreOfice (in case it matters):
Version: 7.6.4.1 (x86) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: e19e193f88cd6c0525a17fb7a176ed8e6a3e2aa1
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: de-DE
Calc: CL threaded

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Work on a larger Calc document
2. Work on a text document
3. Try to work on the text document while the calc document is auto-saving

Actual Results:
You cannot work on the text document while the calc document is auto-saving

Expected Results:
Different documents should be handled independently, especially when there are multiple CPU threads available.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
The software should not block the window with the text document
