Original file where bug occurs

I am using Libreoffice 4.2.4 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Using Libreoffice 4.2.1; Open the attached file - sales view file - Test.xlsx
2. It will ask 'This file contains links to other files. Should they be updated?'  ... click NO , & It will open showing all the data.
3. type someting in an empty cell & delete is again so that 'Save' option gets enabled. Save the file again & close it.
4. When you open the file again, now the data is missing.

Find attached 
1) sales view file - Test.xlsx
2) the screenshot when file is reopened & data is missing.

Changing the title summary.
This is a Dataloss, so  Importance-> High/Critical.

Please note that export as ODS format do not broken the links.

Also, mannually chaning the links to
='file:///c:/users/marv/downloads/_test/data final  sales/sales report.xlsx'#$'HQ Wise Report'.C73
will bring the data back again.

Comment 5 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2014-05-30 10:18:15 UTC
Well the root of the problem is that when you save the file Calc is saving it as an XLSX file even though it has an XLS extension. So if you make the change, and then save as an XLS, it will reopen file. Tested in 4.2.4 on Linux.
Comment 6 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2014-05-30 10:23:29 UTC
But i see that the original file was actually an XLSX renamed as an XLS.

(In reply to comment #6)
> But i see that the original file was actually an XLSX renamed as an XLS.

No, you are wrong. The original file is an XLSX file. It does not have an XLS extention.

Unzip the file shows:
ContentType="application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml....

Actually you can reproduce this bug by creating two XLSX files and try to link each other.

Comment 10 Stéphane Aulery 2016-02-22 17:20:58 UTC
Hello,

This bug is not resolved. Like explained in comment #6, I made two XLSX documents with LO, and linked the second to the first.

When I insert the link, it is ok. If I save, close and reopen the document which contains this link, it is broken. The tooltip display that the path has been corrupted.

It keep file name but drop directories path :

    file:///C:\Users\lkppo\myfile.xslx

become

    file:///myfile.xslx

Tested on Windows 7 64bit with LO 5.0.1.2

Regards,

Closing this again as duplicate of bug 45286, closed fixed by Eike at 4.3.2 and 4.4.0

Please see new issue in bug 98085 -- FILESAVE as .xlsx destroys link to linked contents
