--- Comment #20 from Victor V. Terber <vic...@terber.de> ---
Comment 18 claimed: "There is no easy fix for this as it is acutally a MS Excel
bug. The exported XLSX file by LibreOffice is correct according to the spec".
Comment 12 referred to the ECMA-376 standard.

While I understand the (commendable) intention this is from user perspective
completely misleading: The LO "Save as" dialog does not tell the user that it
saves the document in ECMA-376 format but instead it claims "Excel 2007-2019".

Therefore I dispute the comment 18 stating "There is no easy fix for this as it
is acutally a MS Excel bug". The bug is on LO side: Either fix the export to
match the alleged Excel compatibility (for instance by shortening the worksheet
names) or alternatively change the user-visible format description in the save
dialog. The decision is obviously to the LO devs but please do not take the
easy way out to simply allege (four years after this bug was validly reported!)
"this is an Excel bug".
