 Hi everyone,

 Yesterday I upgraded Libreoffice from 3.5.5-1 to 3.5.6-1, and I
 started to notice problems opening several *.ppt files. When I double
 click on the ppt, an ASCII Filter Options popup appears - I never
 saw this popup before. Anyway, I have to click Ok for Libreoffice to
 start importing the presentation. The problem is that after this
 operation is completed, Libreoffice doesn't show the *.ppt as usual;
 instead, the window remains blank for a long time, and I have to force
 quit. I tried this with several *.ppt files (at first I thought about
 a corrupted file), and this happened with every one. Downgrading the
 package to 3.5.5.1 solves the issue, and the files are displayed fine.
 Now, I'm not sure if this 'ASCII Filter Options' thing is a feature or
 a bug. Is anyone else seeing this? I didn't find anything related on
 the forum.

 Thanks for your time,

 Lorenzo

This happened to me less than five minutes ago. Unfortunately I don't
have any solution.

I have exactly the same problem - I assumed that there was something
wrong with the ppts, but I double checked and it still isn't working.

Hi Lukas,

Thanks for your answer :) For me downgrading to the previous version
solves this problem completely. This seems a bug upstream - I'll
investigate this as soon as I have time (apparently I have to install
the debug package).

Hi Michal,
Thanks for your answer :) This was the first thing I thought, but it
happens with every ppt I tried, while the same files open without
problems in LibreOffice 3.5.5-1.
