Save/Store files

Hello,
I am using LO 5.1.1 (latest development version). Since version 5 I notice
that in writer the tab "Speichern" (German for store/save) is not grayed,
even though NOTHING has changed in the file. Is this intentional?
Regards

Perhaps because in the status bar at bottom there is an icon (rectangle
outline with check mark) which indicates if the document has been modified,
and is also a 'Save' button.

Yes, that is intended. It is no longer a single icon, but has a drop-down list. If it were disabled, this list could not be reached. The next version will have a colored asterix on the icon, if something has changed, so that you can easily see, that you need to save the document.

Kind regards

I remember that there had been a discussion in the recent past to always enable File > Save regardless of the document change status. Some people had been complaining about the function being disabled on a non-modified file. I can't find this in the release notes, however.
