I updated the mimitype
Comment 2 Florian Reisinger 2012-11-22 11:31:09 UTC
Can confirm it with caption and list on Win7 x64 with Version 3.6.1.2 (Build ID: e29a214)
Comment 3 Joel Madero 2012-12-06 21:59:00 UTC
Confirmed, marking:


Version 4.1.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: dfd474710f959dcf78038deb990c3618b467ec6)
New (Confirmed)
Priority
Normal (can prevent high quality work with interoperability with MSO)
Low (forms in general not used a tremendous amount for the vast amount of people)

Reproducible with LibreOffice 4.2.5 and 4.3.0 on Debian. I attach a screenshot with MS WordViewer as a referents representation.

Repro with LO 6.2+. 
Started from LO 3.5, LO 3.4 was able to open it. Looks like regression.
Note: this is Word 95 DOC. If saved in MSO as DOC, opens fine.

Only the list, the caption was never okay.
Comment 11 Aron Budea 2019-06-08 17:13:56 UTC
Bibisected the list/checkbox issue to the following range using repo bibisect-43all:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/?qt=range&q=a44dda4b7d71f8d2b4e0cca79d732eab89588c3a..a705aec5117fe9123236ebdeb0d6f271b83f8af4

The caption is now good in 6.4.0.0.alpha0+ (2d5821ceacf399ec9267a3704ee0b2cc8a598f04) / Ubuntu 18.04.
At some point the grey list background started showing as well, but it still isn't filled.

This Bug is still present and behaves like Aron Budea wrote for 6.4.0.0 alpha.

However this file is even not usable in Office365 (file error and can not be opened for changing at all, changes must be done in desktop version).

Looks like combination of pretty old format and modern apps.

Dear Urmas,

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


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
