Steps how to reproduce with "LibreOffice 3.4.1RC1 - WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) German UI [OOO340m1 (Build:101)]": 0. Download sampel from "Bug 45418 - FILEOPEN: IMPORT XSLT Filter do not work on LINK or Insert" <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=56351> 1. Start LibO 3.4.1 from LibO Start Center 2. 'New -> WRITER Document' 3. Menu 'Insert -> File -> Filetype = Microsoft WORD 2003 XML' Select Sample 4. <Open> Expected: Lorem Ipsum Text from sample document will be inserted Actual: Nothing happens, noi error message, no text becomes visible, further text shows no lorem ipsum txt in "content.xml" Worked fine with "LibreOffice Portable 3.3.0 - WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) German UI [OOO330m19 (Build:6) tag libreoffice-3.3.0.4]" The problem seems to be limited to particular file types, proceeding 0 to 4 worked fine with a sample.odt containing 20 times sting "My text". It looks as if this broke from LibO 3.3 to 3.4 I found this problem during my research for Bug 45418
Reproduced in 3.5.1 on Fedora 64 bit in step 4 on screen appears windows with this text: Read-Error. Error reading file.
reproducible with LO 4.0.1.2 (Win7 Home, 64bit) Result: "Read-Error. Error reading file."
Interesting; the file loads nicely if you don't select the format type though (which is interesting).
