Problem description: I saved a text in LibreOffice Writer as .rtf (rich text format), closed it and worked on a spreadsheet. Then I reopened the .rtf document (using open recent) and it appeared on the screen as a spreadsheet (without LibreOffice even asking the questions it would be supposed to ask when opening a .csv file). Of course I wanted to edit the text as a text. Operating System: Windows 7 Version: 4.0.1.2 release Last worked in: 3.5.3 release
Thank you for reporting this issue! I have been able to confirm the issue on: Version 3.6.5.2 Platform: Bodhi Linux 2.2 x64 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + As I've been able to confirm this problem on an earlier release I am changing the version number as version is the earliest version that we can confirm the bug, we use comments to say that the bug exists in newer versions as well. Marking as: New (confirmed) Minor - doesn't prevent high quality work, may have been a change made on purpose (default to open rtf in whatever component is currently open) Low - very easy workaround (just open document in writer) Keywords - regression (maybe, like I said, might be intentional) + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + LibreOffice is powered by a team of volunteers, every bug is confirmed (triaged) by human beings who mostly give their time for free. We invite you to join our triaging by checking out this link: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugTriage There are also other ways to get involved including with marketing, UX, documentation, and of course developing - http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/. Lastly, good bug reports help tremendously in making the process go smoother, please always provide reproducible steps (even if it seems easy) and attach any and all relevant material
I can replicate the bug on LO 4.0.3.1 running under Windows XP x86 SP3 > may have been a change made on > purpose (default to open rtf in whatever component is currently open) Doesn't make sense. RTF is a text only format. There are no RTF spreadsheets. This is indeed a regression.
this is a filters issue, marking as such

[ is this a cut/paste style RTF filter issue ? ;-].
This is a feature. RTF is not an app-specific format. Opening it from writer opens it in writer, and opening it from calc opens it in calc. This is working as intended. The same applies to .txt (.csv) and .html.
