Hi Ulf,

The file opens fine for me in 4.1.2.3,  4.1.4.2. and 4.2.0 RC2 on Ubuntu ..

Am I correct that you try to open it in the version that comes with Ubuntu, and not with one downloaded from LibreOffice.org ? 

Regards,
Cor

Also, you may find and give it a try to a newer LO version, 4.1.4 rc2, on LO ppa, see https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa

Comment 3 Ulf Mehlig 2014-01-12 00:01:36 UTC

Yes, I'm referring to the build of LibreOffice from Ubuntu. I forgot to mention that I already filed the bug on launchpad

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1260425

and was asked to report it upstream:

"... Hence, the issue you are reporting is an upstream one. It would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software ..."

Thanks for your help.

another odt file with the same problem

this is a .odt file produced by the R statistics program and its odfWeave package.

Several text:frame have the same draw:name. A regression of 4.1.3, fixed for 4.1.4.
