To be completely clear about this, if you used Places->Connect to Server, or Nautilus to create the mount it is using gvfs-fuse in OOo. If you used terminal (command prompt) mount to do it, something like this, "mount //server/mountpoint /media/foo" then it is using the regular linux method. All Gn

Timothy how did you do the CIFS mount using linux command prompt 'mount'? If you used Gnome to do the mount it is using gvfs-fuse in OOo. The only mounts it would not use fuse for are things that are mounted on the command line or by the system during actual bootup, not in Gnome. -- openoffice fi

Here is an example of the problem...the only thing I did to "break" the file was resave it to my cifs mounted Documents directory. Looking closely at the broken file (it is, after all, a Zip archive), it looks like there are multiple copies of manifest.xml instead of the actual content XML files.

OOo in Jaunty just uses gvfs-fuse for saving so it appears to OOo as it is saving on the local filesystem. The problem probably is somewhere in the fuse layer as there have been many bugs found there. ** Package changed: openoffice.org (Ubuntu) => gvfs (Ubuntu) -- openoffice file corruption when
