Problem description: I have one document first.xls and another one second.xls When I have a cell in second.xls with a reference to first.xls like ='file:///tmp/doc/first.xls'#$Sheet1.B2 the path to the file is always doubled when I open second.xls again. So after reopening second.xls I get the path as: ='file:///tmp/doc/tmp/doc/first.xls'#$Sheet1.B2 This does not happen when I save the "second" document in .ods format. Platform (if different from the browser): openSuse 12.1, 32bit Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; i686 Linux; en_US, de; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6
not reproducible with LO 3.6.4.3. (Win7 Home, 64bit)
I can still reproduce this problem with 4.0.0.3 on Linux openSuse 12.2/64 bit
I can reproduce this in 3.6.4.3 on Bodhi Linux 2.2 Updating version to reflect this as version is the oldest version that we can confirm the problem on. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Marking as: New (confirmed) Major (loss of data, quite a pain when referencing across different documents) High (default for major bugs, think that it fits here, could affect quite a few users)
The bug shows only if the spreadsheet is saved as XLS. There is no error when using ODF. Reproducable in LibreOffice 4.0.3 on Linux. Steps to reproduce: 1) Create or open any spreadsheet 2) Create a new spreadsheet and link some cells to the first one 3) Save the new spreadsheet as XLS 4) Re-open this XLS spreadsheet. The file path up to the filename in the link is repeated twice.
