Bug Description
Binary package hint: openoffice.
I am working on a large presentation that includes many photos. It takes a while to save the presentation to disk because of all the photos (it's over 300MB right now). Just now while I was dragging an image object to another place on a slide, the autosave kicked in, which stopped me from doing anything until the save completed. This is quite annoying. OO should be smart enough to avoid this.

This can happen as AutoSave is On . It is disabled by default.
Can you try changing the settings (Tools -> Options, and then go to the Load/Save -> General tab. Tick the "AutoSave every" option and enter a BIG time, say 1hour) and try this.
Here you have the choice to also disable the "Always create backup copy" option.
Reopen the bug if the problem still persists. Thanks for reporting this and making Ubuntu better.
