Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
what version were they created in in the first place ?
Have been using openoffice for quite a while now so all documents have been created with versions earlier than 1.1.3-11.5.0.fc3. Bye the way same problem is with Openoffice 2.0Beta (Fedora 4 version), it cant open my documents "wrong password". Installed the orginal openoffice that comes with Fedora 3 and now i gets them open. Damn its a big work changing all the passwords for each file :) ps. could mention that all depens on one letter(Ã¥) that i have been using in the password.
They *could* be opened with 1.1.3-9.5.0.fc3 ? And it's not the case that the passwords were originally long ones > 16 letters which were silently truncated on input on older version and are now accepted in totality ?
Yes all my skandinavian password saved documents can be opened with version 1.1. 3-9.5.0.fc3 or earlier. My password consist of 14 letters and one skandinavian letter (å). I have now changed the password of some of my documents, replacing the letter å with an a. After the change all version of Openoffice can open the documents that i have changed the password to.
That's really strange, I can see no change between those versions which could account for it. Is is possible to get a password protected document (and the password) created in 1.1.3-9 which won't open in 1.1.3-11 ?
Created attachment 116794 [details] example This was created with openoffice.org-1.1.3-9.5.0.fc3 with 14 character password of... åäöåäöåäöåäöåä closed reopened to verify that the password worked. I then re-upgraded to openoffice.org-1.1.3-11.5.0.fc3 and was still able to open it with that password, then upgraded to rawhide 1.9.117-1 and was also still able to open it
