------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Dec 3 17:18:11 +0000 2008 ------- steps o create a document with a shape ( and no associated text ) in Excel. o open document in latest openoffice and either save or saveas ( insert name of choice ) in the alien ( e.g. MSO format ) o attempt to open document in Excel result: complete failure, Excel reports the document is corrupted etc. the behavior is a nasty regression. This is caused by erronous insertion of MsofbtClientTextbox record ( with no following TXO or CONTINUE records ). It looks to me that it is unecessary for the Text attributes to be setup when in fact no text exists for the drawing object. Ultimately is is a side affect of setting some default text attributes that the incomplete MsofbtClientTextbox gets written by the export ( I attach a patch that prevents that from happening ) of course you probably might have a different solution in mind but here is my attempt none the less ( there is a little more info in the comments about the exact root cause ) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
