Arch Linux

Cannot reproduce this here (I use .xls files every now and then). Can you attach the file that's causing this problem? Does it also occur on other file formats that OOo calc supports?

It must be either your ~/.openoffice/3/xxx config or the xls file. There should be much more reports like this if there's a real problem in calc. So far "can't confirm" or "works for me". Going to colose it soon if no response will come up.

example of file causing closing of OpenOffice

I test erasing .openoffice.org directory without change. I revert temporaly to OpenOffice 2 (that open without problem the XLS files) but with OO3 (updated today) the application crash. The failure is:

soffice

(soffice:5275): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated

** (soffice:5275): WARNING **: Invalidate all children called

Also, opening with strace only tell...

any help will be appreciated.

Ignore this, the broken file was on my end, it wasn't completely downloaded. (Original message: Looks to me that xls file is broken, I can't even open it with microsoft excel 2007 (it even crashes)).

so it's not an OOo bug but a broken xls file not possible to open even with M$ Excel?

can this one get closed?

For me still the problem. I try with the various releases of OpenOffice 3.0 in archlinux, but I have to revert to Openoffice 2.0. If can sent to you any information for help in debugging this problema, don't doubt to tell me, as the problem is still here.

then please report it to OOo upstream: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/query.cgi

I cannot see a packaging bug or somebody knowing a small fix for this. So I'll soon close this one as "upstream" or "not a bug".

BTW: Your example xls file opens well and OOo calc doesn't crash here!

Yes, close please. This week a hard disk failure... after a fresh reinstall I can't able to replay the problem.
