This is a followup of bug 163842 where XLSX>XLSX was fixed so for XLS>XLSX. Sample files can be opened in Excel in their current state. Open them in LO, save them as XLSX, and try opening them in Excel. => Excel is unable to open the files, and shows error message: Repaired Records: Drawing from /xl/drawings/drawing1.xml part (Drawing shape) Repaired Records: Drawing from /xl/drawings/drawing2.xml part (Drawing shape) Samples are attachment 197536 [details] and attachment 197537 [details]. Regressed from the following commit in 7.0: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=fd238380ae7820f12ac1f7c52d0f7180a93f3ba3 author Serge Krot <Serge.Krot@cib.de> 2020-05-13 22:52:52 +0200 committer Thorsten Behrens <Thorsten.Behrens@CIB.de> 2020-05-26 00:20:54 +0200 tdf#106181 XLSX export: output form controls

To clarify, that turned out to be a different issue in the end. > Regressed from the following commit in 7.0: The fundamental issue / missing feature seems to be LO not supporting the export of form controls. Previously they got lost on save, and after the change the file gets corrupted. Even if this is still unsupported, would be good to at least return to the state where files didn't get corrupted.
This is related or the same as bug 136397 but so far See Also is enough. I prefer to have file shown as corrupted than to silently lose data.

Just idea for future: even better would be to warn user before/during saving. So it will not be a suprise when opening the file again. I don't know if we have similar workflow already in LO.
