Description rigoberto 2008-05-23 16:08:51 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
i got a particular excel sheet, converted to gnumeric, converted to text, and one cell is lost. The printing is fine. I don't have a way to reproduce it from scratch, but i can provide you the problematic gnumeric sheet. I fail to see anything weird with the cell that disappears

Steps to reproduce:
1- get the problematic sheet
2- using ssconvert or the gnumeric menu, save as text, default options


Actual results:
the text result lacks one cell

Expected results:
the text show contain all cells

Does this happen every time?
yes

Can you attach the sheet to this report (or is it confidential?)

test case for the bug

it's not confidential, i didn't see the attachment option before. There it goes. The cell that gets lost in the export is C1 (it has the value 21:10)
Comment 3 Morten Welinder 2008-05-28 00:12:40 UTC 
Confirmed.  Very strange.  C2 (with the same text on screen) is exported.

> I didn't see the attachment option before.

It wasn't there.  For reasons unknown, bugzilla only allows you to attach
a file after you file.
