Description Chad 2013-05-07 16:47:52 UTC
In modifying my CSV file by deleting rows, and then saving the changes to the file, LibreOffice "corrupts" the file.  This can be viewed either by simply "reloading" via the File->Reload menu, or by closing and then opening the file.  The corruption is as follows.  Usually, some component of the file data that was deleted is appended as additional columnar data, rows, or both.  

I use CSV files to load data into my SFDC instance.

A current work-around is to save the file using a different file name.  That appears to prevent the corruption.

Could you attach any example documents to allow others to check on different
system/build?

Hi Chad,

I can not reproduce with:
Win7x64 Ultimate
Versión 4.0.3.3 (ID de compilación: 0eaa50a932c8f2199a615e1eb30f7ac74279539)

Have you tried to reset the user profile?, sometimes solve strange issues.

Comment 4 Chad 2013-05-08 22:15:25 UTC
I have not tried resetting the user profile.  I'm using Windows 8 Pro with Media Center 64 bit.  I'll try resetting the profile.

The issue only happens when I save the changes (not save as different file) to the open file.  If you reload that file, I see the issues.
Comment 5 Domas Jokubauskis 2013-10-16 04:43:27 UTC
Please attach the file after corruption and exactly describe what operations on which rows do you apply. Also, try updating LibreOffice and use another user account in Windows.
