Description: I'm getting a truncated I/O error message. See the attachment. This report is about the appearance of the error message, not the cause or usefulness of the message text. This happened after an I/O problem with a file on a NAS device caused by switching from wired to wireless. (The device is still reachable so I'm not sure why there was an error. This connection problem happens occasionally.) The attachment is from an open attempt. The message from the save attempt appeared the same. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Modify a Calc file. 2. Switch from wired to wireless. 3. Try to save the file. 4. Restart Calc. 5. Try to open the file. Actual Results: Any error messages are fully displayed, not truncated. Expected Results: In steps 3 and 5 a displayed error message was truncated. Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:58.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/58.0

The problem seems to be wrapping caused by the length of the file name. I reproduced the message with a shorter file name and the second line is "accessing <file name>."
This is with GTK3? You can see it from Help - About.
Yes, it is with GTK3. The full string from Help About: Version: 5.4.1.2 Build ID: 1:5.4.1-0ubuntu1 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.13; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group
It could be interesting to launch LibreOffice with some other backend than GTK3 and then reproduce the problem. You can try launching from the command line: SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen libreoffice
Using "SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen libreoffice" the message is still on three lines, but the message window is tall enough to see the full file name. Version: 5.4.1.2 Build ID: 1:5.4.1-0ubuntu1 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.13; UI render: default; VCL: x11; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group
Hello B.J. Herbison, Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
I can't tell whether the truncation issue still exists. With 6.1.3.2 I have not been able to reproduce the error in six attempts with the Steps to Reproduce in .0. As I noted in .0 the error only happen occasionally. Not being able to reproduce it now, a year later, could be an environmental change, a Ubuntu change, a Libreoffice change, or just good/bad luck in my attempts to reproduce it.

Thanks for retesting with the latest version. Setting to RESOLVED WORKSFORME as the commit fixing this issue hasn't been identified.
