Description: Spreadsheet shows useful information after FILEOPEN in MSO but in Libre Calc 7.3.5.2 no useful information can be seen. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open the file in Libre Calc 7.3.5.2 2. No useful data can be seen 3. Open the file in MSO and the data can be easily seen Actual Results: no data visible except for the names of individual sheets Expected Results: Expected to see an income statement, a balance sheet and other financial statements Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: This file comes from the US SEC EDGAR system. That seems like an important source for data and a file format that Libre should open as well as MS Excel does.
Created attachment 181954 [details] an .XLS file from a reputable source on the internet
For some reason Rows 1-48 do not have enough height to display their contents. If you select Row 49 and then expand the selection up until Row 1 (I use Ctrl + Shift + Home for that), you can right click and then choose Optimal Height and click OK. This will reveal the contents again. The same problem will happen if you open this file on Google Sheets. In OnlyOffice the file will be corrupted. Hence the problem seems to be in the file and not in LO Calc. XLS is an old format... you should convert it to XLSX.
(In reply to Rafael Lima from comment #2) > Hence the problem seems to be in the file and not in LO Calc. We have many reports about row height autocalculate working (it does the opening process soooo slow in some cases, but it shows a good result in the end). Interesting why it doesn't work for this XLS file? So, I think it's a bug. Would be nice if someone from developers could look at it.. Let's set it to NEW, because I see the problem in Version: 7.5.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 8475b367298de73aec6abc60a159cc015baf9734 CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 12.5.1; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
Let's guess that it was generated, so Low. Better if resaved in MSO. OO in Windows opens it like LO would open MSo saved XLS, all rows visible, so seems regression. But already in LO 3.3 wrong as now, checked, prebibisect.
