Found a file that does not load into 4.1-dev but works with 3.4.1, LibreOffice, Gnumeric and MS Excel Viewer.

Comment 1 Rainer Bielefeld 2014-01-31 16:07:12 UTC 
NOT  Reproducible with server installation of "AOO 4.1.0-Dev – English UI / German locale - [AOO410m1(Build:9750) - Rev. 1559824 - 2014-01-22]" on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit)", own separate user profile.

Also ok with server installation of "AOO 4.1.0-Dev – English UI / German locale - [AOO410m1(Build:9750) - Rev. 1562493 - 2014-01-30]" on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit)", own separate user profile.
Comment 2 Rainer Bielefeld 2014-01-31 17:39:13 UTC 
Very vague suspect: Relation to "Bug 124150 - Impossible to open or save .XLS"?
Comment 3 Edwin Sharp 2014-02-02 07:13:52 UTC 
Confirmed with
AOO410m1(Build:9750)  -  Rev. 1560934
2014-01-27_04:11:25 - Rev. 1561585

Comment 4 Rainer Bielefeld 2014-02-02 08:22:37 UTC 
@Edwin Sharp
Did you find  a general problem with any .xls?
Comment 5 Oliver-Rainer Wittmann 2014-02-04 10:12:22 UTC 
I can confirm that the load of all *.xls documents under Linux (Ubuntu 32bit and Ubuntu 64bit and RedHat 64bit) does not work and that the reported error message pops up.
Comment 6 Oliver-Rainer Wittmann 2014-02-04 10:13:34 UTC 
Investigation reveals that also the export of *.xls documents does not work on Linux.

Also other import/export filters are affected.
Comment 7 Oliver-Rainer Wittmann 2014-02-04 10:16:35 UTC 
The root cause of this issue is:
- Function 'ScFilterCreate' located in library libscfilt.so is no longer visible under Linux.

Caused by changes made for bug 123964.

Getting Herbert involved to find a solution.

Per one of the defect reporter, it was fixed in the build of 2014-02-11. So I change the status to VERIFIED.
