Spreadsheet with custom footer

When opening an .XLS spreadsheet containing customized text in header or footer in Calc, six zeros are added before each portion of text.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create spreadsheet in Excel (I'm using Excel for Mac 2011).
2. Add a header or footer with custom text (the problem doesn't occur when using the predefined headers and footers)
3. Save file as XLS (the problem doesn' occur when saving as XLSX)
4. Open file in Calc
5. Go to Format->Page->Header (or Footer)-> Edit
6. Observe the six zeros before the text

Other observations:
-When you've opened the file with Calc and save it, the zeros also appear when opening the document in Excel.

-If you delete the zeros, after having opened the file in Calc and then save it, the zeros doesn't appear when opening in Excel.


I've only tested with Excel for Mac 2011 (14.0.0).
The problem occurs in both 4.2.3 and current master (4.3.0.0.alpha0).
I'm running OS X 10.9.1

I've attached a freshly produced spreadsheet, created in Excel for Mac 2011, with a predefined header and a custom footer. When opened in Excel the text in the footer is "Left" in the left section, "Middle" in the middle section, and "Right" in the right section.

I see the leading zeroes here as well under GNU/Linux using:

- v4.3.0.2 Build ID: 14ed55896fdfcb93ff437b85c4f3e1923d2b1409
- v4.4.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 3fdd4f069d5436cf39708004af7fda8175fbc4c2 (2014-07-09)

Confirmed. Status set to NEW. Operating system set to All. Summary edited for clarity.

Note: I have filed bug 81496 against the attachment in this bug as it can cause the current alpha build to crash. The custom page style is not handled well.

I have encountered this issue, and managed to find this bug report.

We are also using a custom header, with font formatting (grey text), results in the following:

627D77some_text 

I am guessing the numbers represent text color, and 000000 are for black as is in the original bug description. Our example shows 627D77 for grey color.

Dear Henrik,

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
