I have a shortcut to a .odt file on my desktop. if i double click this
icon it should open Calc and load the file ready for display or editing.

I am finding that Calc opens but the file is not loaded.

There are other strange effects that happen when subsequently trying to
open that file from the recently opened files menu such as the calc
window freezing or not being able to be closed. The "X" on the calc
window is unresponsive.

Please advise what further information you need from me relating to this
bug.

Correction - this of course should be an .ods file that I am trying to
open.

Further information - the following is generally what I always see:

1) Double-click on desktop shortcut, Calc opens with empty spreadsheet
2) Trying to open the file using the shortcut filename, i.e. /home/username/Desktop/filename.ods from the Recent Documents list will not open the file
3) Trying to then open the file using its full name, i.e. /home/username/Documents/filename.ods from the Recent Documents list will open file in a new program window but I also see that in the first program window it is not possible to close the empty spreadsheet using the "x" in the top-right corner as the "x" isn't now displayed.

But if I omit step 2 the file opens in the existing Calc window as it
should when using the Recent Documents list

Further information to follow as I find it.

I am now running Ubuntu 12.04 (pre-alpha) and LO 3.4.4 and I am still
experiencing this bug. So probably not related to KDE as I first
thought.

Title:
  [Upstream] Double clicking on .ods file opens Calc but does not load
  file

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  Confirmed
Status in “kde4libs” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Double clicking on a (desktop) .ods file icon opens Calc but does not
  load the .ods file it just opens Calc.

  I've experienced this with LO 3.42 and now LO 3.43 which was released
  today. Using KDE 4.71, fully updated.

  Various web searches have found a forum post that suggested deleting
  the .libreoffice directory. That didn't solve the problem here.

  By the way, opening .odt files this way opens Writer and the .odt file
  correctly.
