Broken document

Docx document styles becomes broken persistently so that LibreOffice can no longer open them as docx document.

Please updated Writer to successfully load the attached document and to avoid this problem in the future.


Symptom: for a broken docx document, on open, Text Body and table of contents styles becomes Default Style.
All style information is reset and has to be reloaded using LibreOffice - Styles - Styles and Formatting F11 - Load Styles… - Overwrite, OK

* In Ubuntu 16.04, document recovery was broken for Writer, so for docx, 20% of the documents recovered had their style loading no longer working

* I have a lathe number of such document that on load have all styles set to Default Style

* The cause is that style loading is aborted on Open so that no styles are applied to the document paragraphs or table of contents

* Document cannot be repaired: of they are saved as odt they work, if they are saved back to docx they are again broken

* If text are pasted to a functional document from a broken document, the functional document is broken, too

Could you give a try to last stable LO version 5.4.3?
I suppose you'll find it on LO ppa.
