Comment 28 for bug 1218890

Using Libreoffice Writer 4.1 (directly from ppa:libreoffice/ppa) on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit.
I tried opening an existing .odt text file with tiff images imported as links. The imported images would not show. Instead only an empty and flickering frame showed up.
Also, I could not import new tiff files, either embedded in the document, or as links. When I tried (Insert --> Picture --> From file) I would get a "Filter not found" message.

However, other image formats (I tried png and jpg) could be correctly imported.

I downgraded to version 4.0 from ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-4-0 and now it all works just fine [Version 4.0.4.2 (Build ID: 400m0(Build:2)].

sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo add-apt repository sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-4-0
sudo apt-get updatesudo
apt-get install libreoffice
