styles.xml with obfuscated private data

While trying to reproduce another bug, I deleted all text from my document to publish here in order to reproduce the bug.

I noticed there is still private data left in the styles.xml.

I can't find a way to delete that private data, that was used in the document some time ago. I don't get why private data has arrived in the styles anyway. I can't reproduce that issue by creating an empty document with user data arriving in the styles, so I just attach the obfuscated styles.xml.

It will be interesting to find out, how data of an (for the user/author) appearantly empty file is still hidden in the meta-data, just for the case of publishing .odt files instead of PDF.

Hi Massimo B - 

I am going to toss this into NEEDINFO status. We need the following:

1. Instructions on how to reproduce this from scratch - while it is awesome that you provided your styles file - we really need to know how to reproduce from a blank document. Enumerated is best:

1. Open writer;
2. Type multiple lines of test;
3. Set style....

Etc... Be explicit about every step and keep it simple.

2. Tell us what exactly we're looking for in that styles.xml sheet - while it says that there is private data, the text is quite long so it's best to point out exactly what you expect not to be there;

3. A simpler example (styles.xml) would be helpful as the current on is pretty complex


Once you do the above please set the bug to UNCONFIRMED. Thanks for your understanding, patience, and support!

Document with header in custom page style

When a page style is created, the header is included.
1. Open testpagestyleheader.odt.
2. Change page style to default.
3. Save document.
Result:
Header disappears.

The information is still there because you can switch the page style and the header comes back.

Check the document for unused custom page styles and see if the information reappears.  If so, you can either delete the style or amend the header.

Following Gordo's comment, could it be "NOTABUG"?
