3) What you expected to happen
Expected to be able to open a LibreOffice file directly from a .zip file.
4) What happened instead
To duplicate error:
Using File Roller, create a .zip file containing .txt, .pdf, .odt, and .ods
files
Close File Roller
Launch File Roller
Open the .zip file
Right click the .odt LibreOffice file
Select context menu item "Open"
This results in a LibreOffice error message stating "Access to
/home/xxx/.cache/.fr-6L8A12/filename.odt was denied." Similar error
message occurs when opening the .ods file. The.txt file and the .pdf
file open without problem. This problem has been introduced within the
past 12 months.
Workaround is to first extract the LibreOffice file from the .zip
file. Then open the extracted file.
Previously reported to GitLab File Roller:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/file-roller/-/issues/287
Their response was: "You are probably encountering a sandboxing issue due to
their packaging format. Please report the issue to Ubuntu, I don't think this
is a File Roller bug"
