Description: After importing a Lotus 1-2-3 Spreadsheet file (.WK4) into Calc, which worked just fine, I wanted to save it to a text file format for later processing. I experimented with several save formats from the normal File "Save As" dialog without issue. Since I wanted to automate the process to load and save a number of files, I wanted the default save format to be the chosen one. I went to the Tools-Options-Load/Save-General dialog page and changed "Always save as" to several different formats experimentally, the last being .HTML. Then, when selecting File Save or Save As it properly displayed the default option set to .HTML and worked properly. But, if I went back to the options dialog and set it back to the ODF Text Document format, or used Reset and Applied the setting, even though it consistently displayed what you have selected in the Options Dialog Box after applied and upon reopening this box, when opening File Save or Save As .HTML is still displayed as default. I should note, this is only reproduced if you import another .WK4 file. The Save or Save As file will be correct if you open another spreadsheet file saved in the .ODS. I did not think to try creating a new document. But, when importing another .WK4 file, and the loaded file name is shown as *.WK4, clicking Save or Save As defaults to .HTML even though it's set to the default in the Options Dialog. I could find no way to fix this without deleting the user profile. I tried reinstalling, etc. The system did not crash or behave abnormally otherwise. I did not try changing it again after fixing as it was too much of a headache. I can supply one or more .WK4 spreadsheet files of those are needed to work on this and try to reproduce on your side. I am not sure if this is a problem with other file types. It's probably a low priority issue. But, unless it is a fluke it is a problem. It seems strange to me that the system seems to remember the old .HTML value only when opening files of the .WK4 Type. I wouldn;t expect it to remember this in any case, and if the default is changed it should apply no matter what type file was opened. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Import .WK4 file 2. Change Options - Always Save As to .HTML (Maybe try several others and test first) 3. Save or Save As *.HTML 4. Change Options Always Save as to any other value and apply. 5. Save or Save As default will remain .HTML for files loaded as .WK4 only. Note - problem occurs across program reloads, system restart and reinstall. Only resetting the user profile fixes it. Actual Results: Default Save/save As file type remained .HTML Expected Results: Should change to Default File format selected in Options. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Save or Save As should default to the default file format selected in Options.
If it is dependent on opening a WK4 file, please attach a minimal example file, so everyone can quickly test. Please attach an example document. Set to NEEDINFO. Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the document.

Dear distantlightning, 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. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!
