Description Pål Nilsen 2011-11-04 02:28:20 UTC 
Created attachment 53142 [details]
Example file that will produce parser errors

Problem description:
The problem persists when opening Excel exports from the JIRA issue tracker. The files work fine on version 3.3.4 of LibreOffice.
When opening a file from Chrome or terminal the import dialog is not shown and the spreadsheet is blank.
I figured out that I can work around the problem by clicking the "File" menu and selecting the document under "Recent Documents". The import dialog will then show and after clicking OK, the spreadsheet shows data as expected.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open an XLS file via the File, Open or from an external program or terminal
2. The scalc program starts and shows a blank spreadsheet
3. If you open via terminal you will see a large amount of parser errors

Current behavior:
Parser errors, no import dialog and blank spreadsheet

Expected behavior:
No errors, show the import dialog and data in the spreadsheet after clicking OK on the import.

Platform (if different from the browser):
Confirmed on LibreOffice 3.4.3 on both Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 x86_64.

XLSX file that crashes LibreOffice 3.4.3

Attached an XLSX file that causes Calc to just close without any output.

This file works fine on 3.3.4 by the way.
Comment 3 Petr Mladek 2011-11-21 10:21:42 UTC 
I have reproduced the problem with LO-3.4.3. I do not see it with 3.4.4 and master build => it looks fixed

Feel free to reopen it, if you see the problem with 3.4.4 or later release.

Hello,

Could you open a new bug report for this XLSX file crashing Calc?  We need to keep each bug separate or else risk overlooking it.  Thanks a lot... Much appreciated.
Comment 5 Pål Nilsen 2011-12-02 07:08:18 UTC 
Issue still occurs in LO 3.4.4 from Ubuntu repositories.
Comment 6 Petr Mladek 2011-12-08 05:57:33 UTC 
Interesting, it works with LO-3.4.4 package from openSUSE. It does not work with the official LO-3.4.4 from FDO.

I wonder if it is related to a system library that is used to parse the file format.

Kohei, it is strange file format. How much do we support it?
Comment 7 Petr Mladek 2011-12-08 06:01:24 UTC 
Also added Bjorn because it happens with Ubuntu packages but not with the openSUSE packages.

I slightly reduce the severity. The bug is there longer time. The file format rarely used. I think that it can't block the release.
Comment 8 Björn Michaelsen 2011-12-08 08:19:07 UTC 
confirmed on 3.4.4-0ubuntu1
@rene: Do you see this too on debian?

It's not a strange file format; it's an Excel-generated HTML file, disguised as an xls file, by having an .xls extension.  Well, sounds strange perhaps when you see it written, but I've seen a plenty of files like this it's not weird to me any more.

Since the reporter says sometimes the file opens, I would suspect it's the file format detection code failing to detect the correct filter type, and perhaps we are parsing the file using the wrong import filter.  Just a wild guess.

Also, as I've observed in the past, our file format detection code involves a little bit of "random luck", where different candidate format types are tested, and the first one gets selected.  The thing is, we store these format types in boost::unordered_map, and this container tends to order things differently depending on the version of boost used to build it.

That might explain different behaviors in different distro versions of even the same version.

But all of this is just a speculation.  Someone needs to debug our format detection code and see what really takes place there.
Comment 10 Kohei Yoshida 2011-12-08 08:38:18 UTC 
Having said that, I thought I already fixed that randomness, though I'm not sure if that went into the 3.4.x version.

Could you attach the parser errors that you get when running from the terminal?  That might confirm or invalidate my speculation that the wrong import filter is used to parse the file.  Thanks a lot.

Just for completeness, this stacktrace is for the 2nd xlsx document, which we are not dealing with in this bug report.  (This btw is already fixed in 3.5.)

I still want to see the parser error output for the 1st Excel-generated HTML document.

Thanks.  This type of

Entity: line xx: parser error: ....

error message indeed comes from an external XML parser, which indicates that the file is incorrectly parsed as an XML file.

I've seen a similar problem before, and did fix it in 3.5.  The problem was that the Excel 2003 XML file detection code was way too simple, and incorrectly identified this type of HTML file as an Excel 2003 XML file, and proceeded with importing it using that filter instead of using the HTML import filter.

So, I would say please try again using 3.5, and if it's still there, please reopen this.
