sample xlsx file

When opening an xlsx file Gnumeric appears to synthesize a default header and footer even if no such header and footer existed in the xlsx file.

I have attached a sample file created in Excel 2013. In Excel 2013 when previewed this file does not have a header or footer. When loaded into Gnuemric the preview shows the default header and footer.

Right.  And the cause is obvious in hindsight.
Comment 2 Morten Welinder 2017-02-07 16:52:20 UTC 
This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Once that release is available, you may want to check for a software upgrade provided by your Linux distribution.
