This is a test file that shows the problem

Problem description: 

When opening an xls file (see attached sample), the file is not recognised as a spreadheet. It looks like its treated like a csv file as I get the same dialog popup you get when dealing with csv files in a spreadsheet.

Have reported this as an ubuntu bug, and was asked to post this upstream

Steps to reproduce:
1. open the attached in version 3.6.3.2


Current behavior:
Opening the attached opens it as a Text Import window, with unexpected characters showing up:
��������

Expected behavior:

Open the attached as a spreadsheet
              
Operating System: Ubuntu
Last worked in: 3.5.4 release
