ods , odt and corrupt docx sample files

Problem description: 
I am not able to save doc. with chart as docx format (MS Word 2007/2010 XML) because file is always corrupt.

Steps to reproduce:
1. create an chart in CALC and leave it open
2. create a new Writer text document and copy-paste chart from CALC to WRITER
3. save as docx
4. open it in MW word or Libre office

Current behavior:
- When docx file is opened in In Libre Office chart is missing.
- When it is opened in MS Off Word 2003 error message appears: "There was an error opening the file"

Expected behavior:
correct docx file

In case of text only content docx file was correct for me.
Comment 2 szz 2013-03-02 19:43:27 UTC
The problem still exists in LO 4.0.0.3 (portable) so I have changed the release to 4.0.0.3.

Thanks for reporting.

I followed your steps to create testcase.

I can't confirm that it resolve in a corrupt docx, but I can confirm that opening the file using Word (for Mac 2011) result in an empty document. When you click in the document where the table should be, it selects an empty rectangle.

Opening the file again using LibreOffice shows the table correctly.

Tested using Mac OSX 10.8.2 and LibreOffice 4.0.1.2 rc.

@bug reporter: the bug version is the old version of LibreOffice you can reproduce this behavior. Therefore I mark this again as a bug of 3.6.1.2.

Kind regards,
Joren

Sorry for the noise, I was copying the *table* not the chart as you said. I can fully confirm your behavior (corrupt file message in word and data loss when reopening using LibreOffice). Also reproducible using LibreOffice Version 4.1.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: 5fcb553c862d407aadb0320925723d3c2f70bfe)
TinderBox: MacOSX-Intel@1-built_no-moz_on_10.6.8, Branch:master, Time: 2013-02-26_22:56:53

This result in data loss and I think this is a very common used function. Therefore I mark this as Highest Critical and I'm going to place it on the MAB-list.

Kind regards,
Joren

Is this bug related to #40594 ? From what I can tell they appear to be. I just wanted to include a reference here for clarity, but will leave it to someone with more knowledge to confirm if this is the case or not.

Thanks for your search and comment Owen. Really appreciated. I read the bug report and at first I wouldn't mark it as a duplicate, but when reading this https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40594#c11 (comment 11) it is almost sure this is a duplicate.

Thanks to Owen we can mark it as such.
@Bug reporter: if this behavior us still reproducible after bug 40594 is fixed, please REOPEN this bug.

Kind regards,
Joren
