When I try to save a NEW (not saved or existent) document from Words, in the modal window to save (or export), in the field: - "Name" (filename): Appear the name of the folder, and the folder icon. It should empty or showing "untitled.ext" or something similar, not a folder name and folder icon. - "Filter": Can't select document type of document to save (neither when try to "Export"). Only "All file types" is showed in list. If I don't matter those things, finally, Words is trying to overwrite a folder (user "home" folder). If I type a file name, Words is trying to save it with "unknown" format, and user is warned about this. Sometimes, the file appear with extension ".text". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a empty document 2.Try to save or export it Actual Results: Extension of file is not assigned. Can't select format to save or export (and extension y not added by default, only sometimes like ".text") Expected Results: - Show a name in "file name" and do not show a folder icon - Let user select save/export document format - Add automatically an extension to filename by default and on selecting a format. Each time I close a document, the document is saved, but an error from KDE appear (asking to reinit Words, Cancel or send info about the error).
I can confirm the same issue here on Chakra. Same problem with both 2.8.2 ad the latest 2.8.3. Same issue with words/sheets/krita/... the whole calligra set is affected. This is our PKGBUILD if can help. https://gitorious.org/chakra-packages/desktop/source/testing:calligra/PKGBUILD I attach also a screenshot (sorry is in italian): http://wstaw.org/m/2014/05/16/plasma-desktopMEP681.png
also here with 2.8.2/2.8.3 + kdelibs 4.13.1 on openSUSE. raising severity, as this is quite bad bug...
Same problem in Manjaro Linux.
This bug seems to affect Calligra Flow. Continue to read for a possible workaround so you can save your work. For those needing to save files, there are two possible workarounds: 1) Use the Save As ... Dialog normally, but put in the full name w/ extension i.e flowdocument.odg for an OpenDocument Drawing, in the case of a Calligra Flow. 2) A different possible workaround is to mail the document to yourself. Select File->Mail, to email yourself a copy of the document. When you save the document locally, you'll need to change the extension to .odg; this is for an OpenDocument Drawing, in the case of a Calligra Flow.
This bug is alive on the whole Calligra Suite since 2.8.2 versions on the following distributions: Fedora 20 openSUSE 12.3 and 13.1 Kubuntu 12.04 and 14.04 It seems to be partially solved on Calligra Suite 2.9.x-gitxxx Calligra Suite version 2.7.5 and below are not affected. P.S.: Thanks to Ingwa and Demm to help me find this report.
Issue fixed on KaOS by compiling Calligra 2.8.4 with this patch: https://projects.kde.org/projects/calligra/repository/revisions/cf804b42cb313d53729a4535622bda66951e6e42
I confirm, issues fixed with Calligra 2.8.5 on Chakra
Solved for OpenSUSE 13.1 too
