Bug ID: 145784
Summary: Warning message leads to mistrust and adoption
avoidence
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.2.2.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Opening a 329 kB xlsx file results in the following warning;
"The data could not be loaded completely because the maximum number of columns
per sheet was exceeded."
The number of columns being used in the sheet is 32.
I compared the loaded spreadsheet in LibreOffcie Calc 7.2.2 to the same
spreadsheet loaded in Softmaker Planmaker. Planmaker does not throw a warning.
Both sheets appear identical in either Libre or Planmaker.
The warning message is causing mistrust of the product. Office workers, on
seeing this message, are afraid to modify the sheet for fear that there has
been some portion of the sheet that has not been loaded. This is impeding
adoption.
Actual Results:
Throws a warning that informs the user that the data could not be loaded
completely, yet the spreadsheet SEEMS to load OK, there doesn't seem to be any
data missing.
Expected Results:
Expect the spreadsheet to load with no warnings thrown, as it does in Softmaker
PlanMaker and Microsoft Excel.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
