Description Dave 2021-05-28 16:30:37 UTC
Description:
Files were created in LO 7.0.6.2 Stable. Files are a report with embedded spreadsheet saved as .FODT. When opened with LO 7.1.3 all formulas are broken. Every formula has =of: prepended and status line at window bottom reports "Error: Variable missing". Deleting the unexpected extra 4 characters fixes the problem. See attached screenshot.

If file is closed without saving, the file still works fine in LO 7.0.6.2 Stable. However saving the document with LO 7.1.3 makes the problem permanent, even if opened with the older version of LO. 

This is a problem with .FODT files, does not happen with .XLSX files. Probably limited to files saved as FODT format. 

Once the formulas are repaired by deleting the extra 4 characters in every formula and the file is saved, it remains fixed if file is opened by either mentioned LO version. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a file with embedded spreadsheet with some formulas in LO 7.0.6.2 or older, save as .FODT
2.quit app
3.Open LO 7.1.3, open FODT file. Notice all formulas are damaged, and are prepended with 4 unexpected characters =of:

Actual Results:
On opening the file in LO 7.1.3, all formulas are damaged, and are prepended with 4 unexpected characters =of:

Expected Results:
File should open without causing damage to spreadsheet formulas in any version of LO. 


Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Dave 2021-05-28 16:41:02 UTC
See 2 attached example files. 
One file has only been saved by LO 7.0.6 Stable and it is OK. No problems. 

The other file was also created in LO 7.0.6 stable, but when LO 7.1.3 opened the file, it damaged the formulas by prepending =of: to each formula. Closing the file without saving allows it to be opened by older version of LO without any signs of damage. Formula damage was locked in when the file was saved by LO 7.1.3.
