             Bug #: 46462
           Summary: : Trouble opening files with backslashes in file name
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: LibO 3.4.4 release
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
 Status Whiteboard: BSA
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium

        ReportedBy: ajv...@gmail.com


Problem description: 
Might seem like an odd thing to do, but I have some CSV files with backslashes
in their names. Trying to open them with LibreOffice shows a problem (or 2)...

Steps to reproduce:
1. echo 1>'\\x.csv'
2. /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin --calc '\\x.csv'
3. calc appears to be starting but then vanishes. No process shown on 'ps'

'\\x.csv' can be opened in LibreOffice if it is selected in nautilus, right
clicked and LibreOffice selected.
It also opens OK if LibreOffice started then file/open.

Another, similar but slightly different issue:
1. echo 1 > '\\a\a.csv'
2. /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin --calc '\\a\a.csv'
Fails as above, but..
3. Find the file in nautilus and right click..get message box ".../a/a.csv does
not exist'
.. but can open it in "Text Editor" from nautilus with no problem.
.. and the file can be opened ok from the file menu once LibreOffice is
running.


Current behavior: as described above.

Expected behavior: expect files to open.
