Description Michael Becker 2018-07-20 11:03:58 UTC
After saving a document in DOCX format, I was not able to open the just saved document. lowriter displayed the following error message:

An error occurred during opening the file. This may be caused by incorrect file contents.
The error details are:
SAXException: [word/document.xml line 2]: Attribute w:cstheme redefined

I have unziped and searched through word/document.xml and found the following:

<w:r>
<w:rPr>
<w:rFonts w:eastAsia="Times New Roman" w:cs="Calibri Light" w:cstheme="majorHAnsi" w:ascii="Calibri Light" w:hAnsi="Calibri Light" w:cstheme="majorHAnsi"/>
<w:sz w:val="30"/>
<w:szCs w:val="30"/>
<w:lang w:val="en-US" w:eastAsia="de-DE"/>
</w:rPr>
<w:t xml:space="preserve">extra-low voltage </w:t>
</w:r>

So the element w:rFonts contains wcsTheme twice with the same value.

PS: Problem arose on Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS (Xenial Xerus)

5.1.6 version is EOL.

Could you give a try to a more recent LO version (>= 6.0.5)? You may find recent versions of LO in LO ppa.

The problem ocurred with a document of 17 pages with tables. I simply stored the file every now and then to void data loss. I have no idea how to reproduce it. Thus I am not able to check newer versions.

Perhaps someone has the time to check if there is a chance that the mentioned attribute is inserted twice.

It also would help if the XML file would not be stored as one line, as this would ease to find the relevant line and correct the file by hand. Currently this is a real burden.

Does the problem gets fix if you remove the duplicated attribute?

Hi Michael Becker,
Is there any change you could share with me the document privately sending it to my email?
It would allow me to investigate the issue further...
