Description Jaise James 2014-04-14 11:37:10 UTC 
How to reproduce

1. Open any xlsx file with more than 2 sheets.

2. Hide the first sheet & save the file.

3. On reopen the file. Now you can see First sheet is visible.

This bug only affects first sheet of spreadsheet. Others sheets hiding are working fine.

I am able to reproduce this problem as well. It is a security issue, because many people actually use the sheet-hiding mechanism for confidentiality.

No, it is not. Hidden sheets can be made visible again any time.

I would rather not comment on this...
