From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030530 Description of problem: If a document's filename contains the substring "%20" in its name (that is, a percent sign followed by a 2 then a 0), it cannot be opened from the command line. It fails with an error instead. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice-1.0.2-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. cat << EOF > 'my%20test.txt' > this is line one > this is line two > EOF 2. ooffice 'my%20test.txt' Actual Results: Dialog box, titled "OpenOffice.org 1.0.2". Contents: "Error loading document file:///home/barryn/my%20test.txt: /home/barryn/my test.txt does not exist." (Notice the %20 was changed to a space in the second half of the error message, but not the first half.) After clicking OK, the same dialog box appears a second time. Expected Results: OpenOffice.org Writer window should open up on the file, with the two lines of text entered in step 1. Additional info: Workaround: rename the file before trying to open it. Or, open ooffice first then use its Open command to open the file. I think this is OpenOffice.org (upstream) bug 10226: http://www.openoffice.org/project/www/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=10226 AFAICT Rawhide has the same version of OpenOffice as Red Hat 9 and shows the bug too. The OOo release shipped with Red Hat 8.0 also has this bug.
openoffice.org-1.1.0-2 from rawhide does not have this bug anymore.
