A text file with LF line endings that may be used as a test case. Mime type chosen to preserve line endings.
MRU->MBA: sounds quite similar to issue 84774 - duplicate? I did not find 84774 in my initial search, but in reading it it appears to describe the exact same issue. If you close this one and mark it as a duplicate, that seems reasonable to me. Well, I guess this one does also double as an enhancement request WRT strange file filter options. So... Some additional info: The attachment was tested in the following linux OOo versions and opened properly in Writer: OOo 2.3.1 OOo 2.4.0 (also tested in Ubuntu (U)OOo 2.4.0) OOo 3.0 Beta Then tested in the following Windows XP OOo versions and exhibited the reported behavior (opening in Calc instead of Writer: OOo 2.3.1 OOo 2.4.0 (also tested in Windows 2000 Professional) OOo 3.0 Beta (also tested in Windows 2000 Professional) This appears to be a Windows only related bug, but further testing with MAC & Solaris would need to be done in order to confirm. Taking the current application into account when opening files was discussed quite some time ago and the UX team rejected this at that time. Perhaps another thing we should discuss on the UX list. Beside that I agree that this is a duplicate. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 84774 *** closing duplicate |
