           Summary: Libreoffice does not start when double-clicking on
                    file icon and filename contains spaces
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: LibO 3.3.2 release
          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
        OS/Version: Windows (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Libreoffice
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: paul at piak.nl


When attempting to start libreoffice by double clicking on a file icon in
explorer, libreoffice will not start when the file name contains spaces. The
splash screen only briefly flashes and then nothing.

When the spaces in the filename are replaced by for example '_',
double-clicking on the file icon will start libreoffice properly, so it appears
to be a problem with translation of the 'command line'.

I had the same problem with open office 3.3, which is why I tried 'upgrading'
to libreoffice.
About half a year ago the problem was not there. I noticed that a scheduled
excel document which was supposed to open automatically each day stopped
opening. This scheduled task only calls the document and relies on windows to
find the appropriate program (libreoffice) to open it, which is supposedly the
same mechanism used when double-clicking the file icon.

I found reports of a similar problems on the web, but not in this bugzilla.
Also there only seemed to be a fix for *nix, which is not useful on windows.
