            Bug ID: 95545
           Summary: REGRESSION: WordPerfect 5.1 import filter fails
                    silently [libwpd]
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.0.1.2 release
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium

WordPerfect 5.1 that cannot be imported.

WordPerfect 5.1 files that were opened in older versions of OpenOffice /
Libreoffice no longer open correctly. Note: nothing even appears, not a single
message.

Another extremely strange thing is that the very same file does open in AbiWord
which uses supposedly the same import library (libwpd). But if you try to copy
and paste a document, nothing will get pasted.

To reproduce:

1) Open the file attached.
2) LibreOffice cursor icon will turn around.
3) Blank document will appear instead of a page-long document.


I noticed that few WP 5.1 files do open, but this is very rare (I have a huge
collection of older documents in WP51 format).
