Description: Consider you have 2 templates somewhere in the external directory (e.g. C:\Users\John\Desktop): one template is for Writer, and one template is for Calc. They have the same base name: template. That is, their names are template.ots and template.ott Then, proceed the following steps: 1. Copy Writer template to the default templates directory; i.e. C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\4\user\template 2. Open Writer, select File > Templates > Manage Templates and make sure the copied template is shown. 3. Delete the copied template from C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\4\user\template 4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for Calc. 5. Don't delete Calc template. Copy Writer template. Thus, you will have both templates in C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\4\user\template 6. Repeat step 2. The, repeat step 2 for Calc. You will see that Writer "see" template.ott, but Calc don't "see" template.ots 7. Rename one of these templates and see that problem is gone. Now, both templates are "visible". So, when we have templates with the same names (e.g. template.ots and template.ott, or foo.ots and foo.ott), LibreOffice see only one of them.

If you work with templates without using the provided "Manage Templates" dialog: Have you tried to refresh the list via: Menu File/Templates/Manage Templates -> click "Settings" icon and select "Refresh" I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the issue is still present
(In reply to Oliver Brinzing from comment #1) Refresh doesn't change anything.

If templates are intended to be used as the default ones, here is a workaround: 1. Copy template.ots 2. Open Calc and make template.ots as the default template. 3. Copy template.ott 4. Open Writer and make template.ott as the default template. That's it.
Dear John, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.
