Calc renders HTML file horribly

[RDL]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

Both MS Excel and oo.o 2.4.x can open the attached HTML file (with XLS extension) correctly, but for whatever reason, Lucid's oo.o (3.2) renders the file horribly.

I'm pretty sure this isn't a supported import method, it probably only works at all by accident.

If you want to discuss this bug with upstream please feel free to file the bug there:

Well, Excel has done this since at least version 2000 or so, and OO.o calc, like the rest of the suite, tries to mimics most of MSO's functionality; also, this worked just fine in OO.o 2.4.

I would say this is a regression, so I reported this at:

Thanks for the time.

RDL, which of the three files demonstrates this problem? What specifically about the rendering is the problem?

There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to allow cross pollination.

Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. This Ubuntu release has reached EOL for Desktops.
See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

Since this bug hasn't been touched in a while and the Incomplete autoclose didn't work, I'm going to close it.

If you can still reproduce on a new version of Ubuntu, please reopen it.

Eol reached or near to be; Time to move to a newer release now.
