Bug #: 45565
Summary: loop dialog error on open of .docx file renamed .doc
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.5.0 RC2
Platform: x86 (IA32)
OS/Version: Windows (All)
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
There is a dialog bug when Writer tries to open a .docx file that mistakenly
had been renamed to .doc. When such a file is doubleclicked LO displays a first
window that informs the user that the file is corrupt. The user is also
prompted to click yes or no for repair.
Clicking "no" displays a second window with the text "The file 'a.doc' could
not be repaired and therefore cannot be opened.". A click on "ok" brings back
the first window. Clicking the close window button on either window causes the
other window to appear again.
Clicking "yes" (accepting a repair action) in the first window displays a third
window with the text "Read-Error. error reading file.". Clicking "ok" ends the
windows.
Suggested actions:
- let the close window button abort the attempts to open the file completely
and display no more windows.
- consider clarifying the dialog texts. In the first dialog window it is
unclear to the user if the action triggerred by a "no" click is "don't repair
and abort opening" or "don't repair and try to open the file anyway".
Steps to reproduce the bug
1. download this sample file

2. rename it to filetype .doc
