Created attachment 140155 [details] Simple text file that can no longer be imported Starting with an update installed on Feb 24, 2018, it is no longer possible to import text files into .odt files, e.g. the attached GNU Octave script. A workaround is to open the file with a text editor and to use copy and paste, but this is not as nice as just use (with German user interface) Einfügen -> Dokument (Insert -> Document ?).
I can open it in Version: 6.1.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: ddbb78caa78085673b07dbea6f53288ec6237764 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.13; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: ca-ES (ca_ES.UTF-8); Calc: group To be certain the reported issue is not related to corruption in the user profile, could you please reset your Libreoffice profile ( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile ) and re-test? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the issue is still present
The problem also occurs when starting LibreOffice in save mode (Help -> Restart in Save Mode) Some more information: Text files with the extension .txt can be imported, but not with extension .m. So another workaround is to change the extension of the file to be imported to .txt before importing, but this is awkward.
Hi Johannes, Xisco, Same behavior as Xisco. I open it with LO 6.1.0.0.alpha0+ on Windows 7 and prior versions.
this is an Ubuntu-specific issue, I could reproduce it with bundled LO 5.4.5.1 / Ubuntu 17.10, but not with TDF's LO 6.0.1.1 or 5.4.5.1 (ie. the file can be opened/inserted without problem there). Please see how to report bugs specific to Ubuntu's LibreOffice here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibreOfficeBugWrangling If you open/find a bug report downstream, please add it to the See Also field here. Thanks!
