------- Additional comments from j...@openoffice.org Sun Sep 6 08:17:15 +0000 2009 ------- This first came to my attention because I use OpenOffice examine and compare .config files. I would use the OpenOffice open dialogue, navigate to /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.30, type in the File name: .config (because hidden files are not shown in the dialogue) and it would open (with the usual dialogue about ASCII Filter Options). Now this does not work unless I make a copy of the file and rename it with a .txt extension. To reproduce: Paste some text into a new page using Gedit and save it as a plain text file called <Open bug test>. In OpenOffice, navigate to the file using the File>open dialogue, click on the file name, click on open and all that happens is that the dialogue disappears. Or, find the file using Nautilus, right click on the file name, left click on "Open with OpenOffice.org Writer" and all that happens is that the open dialogue disappears. Save a copy of the file as <Open bug test.txt>, either of the above actions opens the file with a difference that opening the file from Nautilus brings up the ASCII Filter Options dialogue, which does not happen using the OpenOffice File>open dialogue. Having now opened the file in OpenOffice.org writer, save it in ODF format as <Open bug test2.odt>. It can be opened normally using either method. Using Natilus, save a copy of this file and rename it <Open bug test2>. OpenOffice will not now open it, in exactly the same way as with <Open bug test>. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
