Hi Owen,


I would first try to reproduce the error without a USB external storage
device being a factor. I cannot recommend working directly from a USB
device. Ever. The risk of failure (in all contexts) seems to go up
considerably when doing so and I myself have suffered from this (although
not with LO). Not an answer I know, and you have my full sympathy and
respect Alex, just a possible avenue for further testing. 

I was also always sceptical of reading/writing directly from/to external
storage, but this issue had never occurred in any of the preceding 3.x
or 4.1 versions of LO on OSX (or in any other version of
StarOffice/OOo/LO/AOO/NeoOffice that I have had). So, I was naturally
caught "unawares" as they say. After many hundreds of hours of using
previous iterations of LO with external storage, one certainly does not
expect it to behave in a contrary fashion in an allegedly "stable" release.


I can confirm that the problem only occurs on OSX when writing to
external storage. And never occurred with 4.1.x, so this is new to 4.2.5
at least. I can't however state with accuracy that it didn't occur with
4.2.3 (which I also have), but seeing as I was using that before, I'm
pretty (although not absolutely) certain that I didn't encounter the
problem there either.



I am not discounting an LO problem as your description sounds similar to
this bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78260 The example
file does open in Writer (displays garbage), but cannot be opened by an
archive manager.

It is certainly similar, to the extent, that the file is corrupted,
however, I can not even open it in any version of LO, OOo, or NeoOffice.
I had someone test the file on Linux last night, and they too were
unable to either parse it as a zip file or open it in any version of LO
that they had.

Thanks for your input Owen.

Alex
