LibreOffice writer - Embedded jpegs trashed
Feb 1st 2013, 00:30

I am running LibreOffice 3.5:build-413 on my 12.2./KDE 4.9.5 64 bit desktop.
It is loaded from the openSUSE 12.2 Update repo, ver 3.5.4.13-1.4.5-x86_64.

I just encountered an issue opening a text file saved as a docx (need to share it with Windows users).
On opening, All the embedded jpegs show as "Read-Error".

This file was OK until recently, but I cannot relate it to a specific update, I just happened to notice it.

I luckily had a somewhat recent backup that still opens correctly.

Googling about, I followed a suggestion to open the files with ARK.
From there, I can see that in fact the embedded jpegs have been trashed, they are now 8B in size, in my recent file but 300K or so in the old(good) file.

Is this a common, known issue?
I saw some references in my search that this was related to an issue with auto-save, but they seemed sort of old.

Wow, this is ugly if it is a new bug.
