LOL! I must say you do have the strangest things happening to you.
Could it be all caused by operator error? Hmmmmmmmmm. What do you think?
I won't rule it out as yet.
However, when the file won't open (or writer even start up) from the command line using gnome-open <filename>, but it will with gnome-open <filename1>, when I open the writer from the applications menu and go to File->Open and select the file and it does not open but the renamed file does, and when I open a Nautilus window and have the exact same results, I have to wonder how much operator action could be involved.
FTR, I checked the file and directory permissions - identical and correct (well, yeah, if I just rename the file between the names and one works and the other doesn't...).
I know there's a funky permissions problem somewhere in some conf file or other on the machine because a lot of things don't work quite right at the moment, but so far I haven't heard a clue (e.g., previously posted issue with not being able to open pdfs, jpgs and certain other files directly from nautilus but okay with right-click->Open With), but at least they open one way or another - this one doesn't.
Besides, if the solution was that easy or obvious, I wouldn't have raised it here (not any more).
