I have a XLS file made in Excel. It has loaded perfectly in the past with gnumeric 1.2.8 in Fedora Core 2 (on x86). Gnumeric 1.2.13 on amd64 in Gentoo puts a single strange character after each string. It is not the same character for each string. A sample looks like: Testing(hex 0C) More Testing(y umlat) Saving a file and loading it as .gnumeric format does not do this. Saving a test file as XLS 97/2000/XP does do this. (other XLS formats untested) I suspect it is an AMD64 problem of some kind. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. On an AMD64 system, create a new Gnumeric spreadsheet and enter some string info. 2. Save the spreadsheet as XLS 97/2000/XP format. 3. Close Gnumeric 4. Open the spreadsheet that you saved. Actual Results: Weird characters at the end of my strings. Expected Results: It should have opened a document that looked exactly like the document saved.
