--- Comment #7 from Peter Selinger <selin...@mathstat.dal.ca> --- This bug is still present as of 3.6.2.2 (Build ID: 360m1(Build:2)), the standard version of LibreOffice that currently ships with Ubuntu 12.10. I just lost a bunch of files. Please note that this bug affects the SXC format, and it applies to files saved "with password", and then opened with the *same* version of LibreOffice. This is what the original bug description said. Some of the comments above seem to refer to a different bug. To reproduce: * Create a new spreadsheet in LibreOffice * Type "abc" into A1 * File -> Save As. Select "OpenOffice 1.0 Spreadsheet (.sxc) as the file format. Select "Save with password". Type a filename and "Save". * When prompted, type "test" as the password (and a second time to confirm). * Close the file and quit LibreOffice. * Start LibreOffice again. Open the file just saved. When prompted, enter "test" as the password. * You get the error message "The password is incorrect. The file cannot be opened." An alternative way to reproduce this bug is: * open an .sxc file saved "with password" with an older version of LibreOffice. * when prompted, enter the password. * the file will open with no problems. * modify the file. * save it (Ctrl-S). * the file will save with no errors. * close the file. * open it again. * when prompted, enter the correct password. * error: "The password is incorrect. The file cannot be opened." It is this latter method by which it is very easy to lose data, because an apparently saved file will overwrite the previous version, but will become unopenable. Question: Why do I want to save files in the SXC format? Answer: I don't, really. I just have some spreadsheets that are up to 10 years old. At some time in the past, SXC was the "standard" format, and I just never changed it until now. Please, please fix this bug. It has been open for over a year, and it has not even been assigned to anyone. Thanks, -- Peter -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
