Description Patrick Oltmann 2013-01-29 19:39:56 UTC
While testing LibO 4.0.0.2 rc under Fedora 17 (both 64-bit) the following
problem occurred: When trying to open any ODF document (.odt, .ods or .odp)
located on a Windows/SMB network share, I get a series of error boxes
stating the the file is corrupt, could not be repaired and thus cannot be
opened (see observed behavior).

This problem does not arise when the same documents:
- are opened with LibO 3.6.4.3 (hence the regression tag)
- are opened with LibO 4.0.0.2 rc under Windows 7 Enterprise (64-Bit)
- are opened from a local drive (both NTFS and ext4)
- are converted to Office 2003 or Office 2007 XML format and then the
converted files are opened. This works even when the converted files are
located in the same directory like the non-working ODF documents.

Saving an ODF to the network share also works, the documents can simply not
be opened again from that location. They are however not corrupted, since
they can be opened without problems after being copied to a local drive.

How to reproduce:
1) Open an ODF document located on a Windows/SMB share

Observed behavior:
1) First message box: File is corrupted, should a repair be attempted (yes/no)
2) Second message box: Irrespective of the answer to the previous box, this box
states that the file could not be repaired and therefore cannot be opened.
3) Third message box: "General Error"

Expected behavior:
1) The document opens normally.

The problem does not occur anymore in LibO 4.0.1.2. Tagging as resolved.
