Description muzzol 2012-07-12 10:14:52 UTC 
Problem description: 

I mount some resources via samba (smbnetfs) and it seems that samba sometime adds an additional slash.

libreoffice can't open any file that has two leading slashes.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Copy a simple .odt file to /tmp/test.odt
2. execute: libreoffice '/tmp/test.odt'

it should open normally. close it and now try with

3. libreoffice '//tmp/test.odt'


Current behavior: file is not opened

Expected behavior: file is opened

LibO 4.2.8.2 is an obsolete (even jurassic) release.
you should retest with latest stable branch which is 5.1.5
thousands of bugs have been fixed since 4.2.x
Comment 7 muzzol 2016-10-11 09:47:59 UTC 
you're right, I'm at work and I've tested with an old machine.

Just tested on a fresh instal with two different versions and still not working. Fist one is from regular ubuntu packages, 5.2.* is from PPA

Have you tried? this bug is really easy to reproduce.

Dear muzzol,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
