I can confirm with LO 4.4.3, win7
Comment 2 Luke 2015-06-21 18:51:25 UTC 
Eike,
Were you the one that recently added the OOXML import logic to read selection lists?
Comment 3 Eike Rathke 2015-06-22 10:21:43 UTC 
What is a selection list? ;-p
(which hopefully answers your question ;-)
Comment 4 Luke 2015-09-06 01:03:13 UTC 
If you select an item from the list, Calc will export the list correctly. So the issue is only with empty selection lists being stripped out.
Comment 5 Luke 2015-09-06 02:51:46 UTC 
Data->Validity->Allow Empty Cells is checked. Also, saving as ODS preserves the selection list.
Comment 6 Bartosz 2016-09-25 23:43:14 UTC 
For .xlsx format it is not possible to create empty list for data validation (the error will be displayed during creation.

Also .xlsx format is not support such behaviour.

To resolve that, when empty list was specified, the error should be displayed
