Issue 112648

A couple of hours ago I opened a password-protected spreadsheet in Calc, made
some edits, and saved without problems. I just tried to re-open the file, it
accepts my password and it starts loading, but then it gives following error
message: "Read-Error. The wrong password has been entered."

This cannot be due to mistyping of the password, because if I intentionally
mis-type the password I get a different message: "The password is incorrect. The
document cannot be opened.". Furthermore, the message displays before the file
loads, whereas with the correct password the error message displays after the
loading bar at the bottom of the screen has filled up.

On the OpenOffice community forum I found a related problem that was solved
(viewtopic.php?f=9&t=10401&start=0#p48747), but the solved problem relates to a
corrupt file that cannot be opened after a crash and subsequent recovery
process. The solution was to use a hex editor to remove "manifest.xmlPK" at the
end of the file. I tried that but it did not resolve my problem.

I maintain the file on a laptop running Windows XP, but I have the same problem
on my netbook, which runs OpenOffice 3.1 on Ubuntu.
