[Bug] Word 2014 files are not opened by native document reader

This is a critical bug! When trying to open a Microsoft Word 2014 file, e.g. form a downloaded e-mail attachment, the document reader starts and immediately and silently crashes. Older document versions from MS Word are opened and read without any problems. Not tested with Excel and PowerPoint 2014, neither with documents created with Office 365.

Please verify or falsify this issue and if affirmative, put it on top of your bug list. It would be a major drawback for using Jolla in my daily life, if this bug was to be confirmed and I had to wait for months for a new version of the document reader.

[Bug] Word 2014 2013 files are not opened by native document reader

This is a critical an annoying bug! When trying to open a Microsoft Word 2014 2013 file, e.g. form a downloaded e-mail attachment, the document reader starts and immediately and silently crashes. Older document versions from MS Word are opened and read without any problems. Not tested with Excel and PowerPoint 2014, 2013, neither with documents created with Office 365.365 (but this is basically the same as Office 2013).

Please verify or falsify this issue and if affirmative, put it on top of your bug list. It would be a major drawback for using Jolla in my daily life, if this bug was to be confirmed and I had to wait for months for a new version of the document reader.

Note: edited because I first wrote "Word 2014", which is wrong obviously - it doesn't exist :-)
