Bug ID: 131313
Summary: Long FILESAVE passwords cause FILEOPEN errors in
LibreOffice v6.4.1.2, under MacOS 10.14.6 64bit
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.4.1.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Mac OS X (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: keith at palling.net
Description:
If I save a Calc spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel format, and give it a password,
it saves correctly.
When I try to open it (with LO), it asks for a password but does not always
recognise it. For example,
The saved p/w "Thedeerhunter-22" produces a "wrong password" error message.
The saved password "horses" allows a file to be re-opened.
The same problem occurs when opening the LO file in Microsoft Office.
Is this a problem of password length or invalid - character?
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a new Calc spreadsheet,
2.Save it with a password, then quit LO.
3.Right-click on the file to open in LO and enter the password.
Actual Results:
File opens if saved using short password above.
File does not open if saved with long password above, with the error message
"The password is incorrect. The file cannot be opened."
Expected Results:
The "save as" dialogue should prevent the use of invalid password formats.
The "open" dialogue should respect the saved password.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Version: 6.4.1.2
