Bug 67453

No crash for me but it doesn't open with 4.0.4 opens fine with 4.1 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In general we'd like more info when someone is reporting someone else's bug - and we'd prefer the actual reporter to report so they can answer these types of questions directly - examples include:

How was the file made? LibreOffice (if so what version?), openoffice (if so what version?), some other software (if so what software, what version)

What OS is experiencing the crash? Like I said, for me no crash, just doesn't open, LibreOffice continues to work fine

Did it work on previous versions of 4, or any other version for that matter prior to 4.1 for reporter? 

Also it's good for users to get a bugzilla account and get comfortable with our system so that they can report future problems - else they start thinking they can just report on the ML and get action - which is not the case - QA rarely monitors the list and we don't want users getting false expectations
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

That being said because I can confirm it won't open on some versions of 4 I went ahead and bibisected - since it's been fixed someone will need to cherry pick the fix for 4.0 release

Thanks Marc for reporting - wasn't trying to lecture you as I obviously know that you're a contributor to the project - just trying to make sure that QA gets what they need and that users learn how to do things the right way instead of bugs through ML - which I see occasionally but I tend not to do more than say "you should report this on FDO" and link to the how to report a bug wiki.

@Thorsten - can you use the bibisect to try to figure out what patch fixed it on 4.1 and see if we can backport it to the 4.0 branch?

The file was not sent in by the original reporter on the mailing list but another user sent me a file but did not want to be involved with the bug reporting. No idea why.

Marc
