Current behavior: LibreOffice doesn't recognize it; instead, a window "ASCII Filter Optionen" appears, asking me abaut the font, language etc. of the file. Expected behavior: Until August 19 (or 20) - i.e. before I installed the last programm update – LibreOffice had no problem to open doc files exported from Pages.

PDF with the same content (also attached) states that it was generated using Apple Pages. I tried contacting document author to confirm that DOC was also created using Pages, but I did not receive any reply. LibreOffice fails to open this file no matter what filter I choose. It just display dozens of pages with rubbish characters. I have tried LO 3.6.1 on Linux and Windows and 3.5.6 on Linux. MS Word 2007 opens it flawlessly :( .

Before then documents could open in LibreOffice. Same problem with documents being opened from icloud.com files are downloaded as a .doc format but do not open in LibreOffice. Instead they are scrambled with ASCII Filter Options which wreck the entire Document. This problem also occurs for documents being downloaded as a .xls format from numbers on icloud.com. It does not occur with PowerPoint ppt files.

I can confirm that this same behavior has been happening for me with LO for quite a while on 32 bit also. I am curious that someone got it to read in 3.5, as my Linux copies of LO have been unable to work with my exported Pages docs for about a year. File opens fine on NeoOffice (Mac) 3.3 patch 2. File opens fine in Apple Pages 2009. I didn't send this particular attached file to Google docs, but I sent one I exported from Pages as a Word doc to GD earlier this week and GD can read the exported Pages and iCloud Word files where LO cannot. BTW, downloading one of these files back from GD seems to clean whatever offending content bars opening the original. I can open my GD-downloaded files in LO.

I'm not sure whether I ever opened such a file with version 3.5.6.2 Version 3.5.7.2 doesn't work. When opening a binary 97-2003 Word file the ASCII filter dialog box is presented. So it appears to be a regression indeed. I hope this helps. Regards, Toon.

This is a fairly limited commit range to check. -> Set the Version picker to the number of the 1st version which is known to contain the bug (3.5.6.2), as usual. About the Importance field: I am sorry to say so but AFAIK this kind of bug is not a “blocker” (we use that severity value very very rarely, only if a build does not work at all, etc.), just “critical”. But this is definitely a good candidate for our “Most annoying bugs” lists, and theses lists are much more important than the Importance field, so I will add this bug there.

There are still important bug fixes submitted to that branch, and this one is an inportant bug fix, of course ... If in doubt, please ask Michael Meeks who has, IIRC, advocated more than once submitting important bug fixes to the 3.5 branch. (But correct me if the wind has changed again, and even Michael Meeks does no longer suggest to commit anything to the 3.5 branch!)
