Abiword opened the same files fine. Probably it detects their type by content, not only by extension. For LO, the cure was to rename them manually from .doc into .rtf, then lowriter could also open them without crashing. Probably some Abiword logic of file type detection should be borrowed into LO to improve user's convenience. Later today I will add my results from LO 1:6.3.4-0ubuntu1 which I test on my home system as a part of upcoming Ubuntu 20.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1862021/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
