Details:

If there is one or more linefeeds within spreadsheet cells, then ods2oct() in
package io-2.4.5 returns the content of these cells incompletely, i.e.
truncated at the first linefeed.


fid=odsopen('abc.ods',0,'OCT'); 
T=ods2oct(fid,1);
fid=odsclose(fid);


The above code will yield T = { 'a' }, when in fact 'abs.ods' contains one
cell with content "a\nb\nc". See attached abs.ods.

Operating System is Ubuntu 16.04. Octave version is 4.0.0.
