Description watzlaw 2005-01-25 20:01:31 UTC 
1. Create a plain-text-file called "test.doc".
2. Try to open file using oo-file-dialog or windows-context-menu ("open with..").
-> OO rumbles a while and does not open anything. 

MS Word is smart enough to open at least an import dialog. (Personally i would
prefer to open it directly and using import-dialog only with special command).

MRU->OS: Can be confirmed. Maybe this is related to issue 39611, but in
contrary, here OO does not crash when a file has a "wrong" suffix, just nothing
happen when trying to open.
Comment 2 andreas.martens 2005-01-28 11:30:37 UTC 
If it's not fixed in time for OOo2.0, it should be fixed for Ooo2.0.1.
Comment 3 Oliver Specht 2005-02-02 08:56:36 UTC 
The detection fails because of the 'wrong' extension. Normally a filter
selection dialog should pop up then. This is fixed in issue 27133
