Description A 2007-06-26 20:49:36 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I will attach an excel file that doesn't quite look right in gnumeric

Steps to reproduce:
1. open the file
2. 
3. 


Actual results:
in excel the dropdown selector things have options in them, in gnumeric they are blank.

Expected results:
things would work...

Does this happen every time?
yep

Other information:
I have never seen such things in a spreadsheet before, does gnumeric have such widgetry to play with? if so, where?

Ah, these are examples of the 'forms' objects that are completely undocumented in the file format.  I'll need to do some research to figure out how to read the source range.
Comment 3 Jody Goldberg 2007-07-27 00:05:25 UTC 
Done.
The patch will be in 1.7.12
