Move/Copy sheet tabs back into file corrupts sheet version 4.1.7

I had Open Office open for a long time (days), and there were four or five OO documents open.
I copied some spreadsheet tabs to a new file.  I made a few changes in the new file.  I saved it as an ods file and as an xls file because I was going to e-mail it.  I closed it before e-mailing it.
I reopened the ods file.  I deleted the sheets to replace from the original file.  Then I copied the sheets from the newer file back into the original file.
A different tab sheet was corrupted.  

This has happened to me before, when I moved some sheets without copying and then copied them back to the main sheet.  The main sheet for this time is derived from that main sheet.

I tried to reproduce the actions that I did up to the problem, but first I closed all the Open Office documents so I could make copies using Windows 10 Explorer.
I opened three odt files, and then the main spreadsheet, a version I had saved four days ago.  I tried to repeat the actions, but I was unable to reproduce the problem.  Maybe it has something to do with OO being open so long?  

The Windows Task Manager shows the CPU at 100% and the Memory at 9.3/15.9 GB.

Hi jsteidel,

I find this difficult to evaluate. What do you mean by "A different tab sheet was corrupted"?

I would not rule out any Issues from OpenOffice to and Application on the System to the system itself causing the corruption.

Can you please provide more info? - At least describe the kind of your Document. How many tabs, and Data does it contain. The formulas do they reference cross sheets? and so on. So maybe we can build a test to check if we can figure what it is together.

Maybe in general a discussion on a dev Channel is better then in the bug tracker. 
Just mail dev@openoffice.apache.org
