Bug ID: 123100
Summary: FILEOPEN XLS LibreOffice doesn't indicate the 256
column limitation of the format when editing XLS files
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: libreoff...@nisz.hu
Description:
The XLS file format has a 256 column limitation, LibreOffice Calc warns the
user when saving a file as XLS with more than 256 column of content. However,
when an XLS is opened, the user interface shows all 1024 columns as available.
It would be better from a user experience standpoint if only 256 columns were
shown when an XLS is opened. If the user saves the files as ODS or XLSX, the
interface could be updated, and all 1024 available columns could be displayed
again. Microsoft Excel already does that, and shows only 256 columns as
available when editing an XLS file.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an XLS file in LibreOffice Calc.
2. See the number of available columns.
Actual Results:
1024 available columns are shown when editing an XLS file.
Expected Results:
Only 256 available columns should be shown when an XLS is opened.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
