** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #40021 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40021 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/996596 Title: Can't open formatted html files with extension xls in Libreoffice 3.5.3 Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Unknown Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Yesterday I made an updated using the PPA repo in Ubuntu 10.04 of LibreOffice 3.5.2 to 3.5.3, then some files with XLS extensions don't open normally. When I tried to open the xls file I got a wizard to import text to file. I use this PPA https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa/+packages But, in this moment I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, so I had installed LibreOffice 3.5.2 and the files that I mentioned was fine, but using the proposed repo and updating to 3.5.3 when I tried to open the file also show me an import dialog. So this is a regression. There is also a bug report in LibreOffice upstream that need more info, the file attached there works to make the test: Bug report: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4623 Test FIle: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=57213 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: libreoffice-calc 1:3.5.3-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-24.37-generic 3.2.14 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-24-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 Date: Tue May 8 10:22:47 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Alpha amd64 (20120306) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=es_CO:es TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=es_CO.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: libreoffice UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/996596/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
