Public bug reported: the following two commands:
touch newfile.odt libreoffice newfile.odt when newfile.odt did not previously exist brings up the Writer with a non-empty file. It is filled with a bunch of junk as "Preformatted Text", including the words Root Entry. This behaviour is not good. What should it do instead? I suggest that this might be a nice way to start the writer with a specified new file. In that case, it should come up with default settings and a blank document. (Note that if I try the second line without the first, I get an error, rather than the useful behaviour of creating a new file.)
