Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Opening Files in Writer

I confirmed this is a bug with Writer 3.6 and 3.6.1 . A bug ticket has been
opened under
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54827

Feel free to add your name to the cc list to be updated once the issue has
been resolved.

Thanks for bringing this up.
