Bug ID: 164361
Summary: LibreOffice warns xlsx is corrupt and needs to be
repaired
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.6.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
As of LibreOffice 24.2.6.1, LibreOffice complains that our 3rd party generated
xlsx files are corrupt and need to be repaired. If you choose not to repair,
LO gives a General input/output error and choosing to repair does open the
document.
Versions 24.2.5.2 and earlier open the spreadsheet with no warning. 24.2.5.2
tested as working in Windows 11 and Ubuntu 24.04. LO is broken in 24.2.6.1 in
Ubuntu 24.04 and still broken in 24.8.3.2 under Alma 8.
I'm reporting this for Calc, but it probably should end up being associated
with the xlsx filter.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the attached document
Actual Results:
Immediately get a warning that:
"The file is corrupt and therefore cannot be opened. LibreOffice can try to
repair the file. The corruption could be the results of document manipulation
or of structural document damage due to data transmission. We recommend that
you do not trust the content of the repaired document. Execution of macros is
disabled for this document. Should LibreOffice repair the file? YES/NO"
Expected Results:
The file is opened.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
I still don't know who to blame. Is this is really a corrupt xlsx file that
has just been automatically repaired in previous versions? Or did a regression
get introduced in a minor version of 24.2.x.x?
I didn't see anything in the 24.2.6.1 rc1 or rc2 wiki release notes that seemed
to be related.
