Using the 64-bit version of LibreOffice 4.3 (release) on OS X 10.9.4 results in broken importing for files tested such as WordPerfect .wpd and Microsoft Publisher .pub. Garbage characters are displayed instead of interpreting and rendering them properly. Highly likely to affect other import filters and other files, so not attaching files due to copyright issues with their sources. Problem also seemed to exist on RC2 and RC3 as well. Using the 64-bit version of LibreOffice 4.2.5 (release) on same setup and files works fine, with files being imported and rendered properly.
Probably a duplicate of bug 81113 @bug reporter: you mind retesting using one of this versions: http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/libreoffice-4-3/ *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 81113 ***
(In reply to comment #1) > Probably a duplicate of bug 81113 @Joren: Sorry but it doesn't look like a dup of bug 81113. That bug shouldn't affect files with a correct extension (which is what the reporter claimed to use), and also it won't end as garbage characters, but as a "General Error". Anyway I'm not able to reproduce this with 4.3 release under Fedora 20.

Lets deduplicate it then. Thanks for your comment Maxim.
Just to clarify, when I say "garbage characters", it appears that LibreOffice is just displaying raw file internals instead of being processed through an appropriate and available import filter. Test results (OS X 10.9.4) - .wpd and .pub sample test files 1. Nightly build ("current") Version: 4.3.1.0.0+ Build ID: d2dd174ac05d7c2844c5e60169128e2a02d4311b TinderBox: MacOSX-x86@49-TDF, Branch:libreoffice-4-3, Time: 2014-08-02_20:39:45 Result: Garbage characters. Note that the nightly build appears to be a 32-bit version, though so far, there have been no differences between 32 and 64 bit versions in regards to this bug. 2. LibreOffice 4.3.0 x86 32-bit version, release Result: Garbage characters. Same result as x86 64-bit reported before.
I found the WordPerfect test file posted at http://resource.dopus.com/viewtopic.php?p=61641 as the Quick View Plus sample file (see wrdprfct.zip) I am not attaching directly because copyright allowances for distribution are unknown to me for this file.

Alonso has confirmed this and has also found out the reason.

Mostly fixed, but problem with graphics being black and white in WordPerfect filter. See below. TESTED: libreoffice-4-3~2014-08-05_07.27.10_LibreOfficeDev_4.3.1.0.0_MacOS_x86.dmg Microsoft Publisher .pub - WORKS fine with test file WordPerfect .wpd - file is imported and displayed but the color graphics in the test file (see previous comment for file link) display BLACK AND WHITE.
