Description Tamás Zolnai 2017-08-30 13:07:41 UTC
Description:
After opening attachment 133861 [details] from bug 108343 , it's opened well displaying a simple pivot table. Then I save it in XLS format and try to open it in MS Excel (Excel 2016). Excel opens it in protected view, saying that the file has a problem (e.g. corrupted) and I can't edit it anymore.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open attachment 133861 [details] from bug 108343 in Calc
2. Save it to XLS file without doing anything with it in Calc
3. Open it in MS Excel

Actual Results:  
Excel opens the exported XLS in protected view and I can't edit the content.

Expected Results:
Excel should not detect any problem with the exported XLS.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No
