Description andred 2001-10-14 12:29:22 UTC 
When I invoke openoffice like this:

soffice /path/to/non-existant/file.xls

I am correctly prompted with a dialog saying that the file does not exist.
However, clicking OK in that dialog only takes you back to the same dialog.
After hitting OK six times the "Select Filter" dialog comes up.

I ran into this problem when I tried to open a file (which I had moved on disk)
from the recent file list on the File dropdown menu.

This is 100% reproducable. The same thing does not happen when you try to open a
.doc file.

Hi,
not a specific Calc problem. sxw/sxi files cause the same problem.
