A quick file size check for documents of what I have copies made with various LibO versions does not show that effect

@HOUARD guillaume
We need a "small" sample document to reproduce your problem and additionally the result after you saved it (both zipped together). To attach a file to this bug report just click on "Add an attachment" on this page.

[Reproducible] with reporter's sample and "LibreOffice  3.5.5.3.  German UI/Locale [Build-ID: 7122e39-92ed229-498d286-15e43b4-d70da21] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit).

With very simple own documents I can't reproduce the problem, but more complex ones (several TABs, Tet, numbers, links show the effect when I save the document from 3.5.5.3. I get back normal size when I open and save with 3.5.1

Currently I do not know what exactly causes the problem and where the problem started.

This one might be related to or DUP of "Bug 51200 - Saving xls files originally created in Excel 2003 causes considerable increase of file size"

All the new problems in 3.5.5 around xls/xlsx export are just duplicates of 51878
