Bug#268370: /usr/bin/openoffice: special characters on German keyboard no longer displayed correctly



Package: openoffice.org-debian-files
Version: 1.1.2-3+1
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/openoffice
Tags: l10n

justification for severity: inputting characters in one's native
language, especially those which have their own key on one's keyboard,
is one of the very basic features of a word processor.


Hi, 

after the last update in testing ca 2 days ago (from OOo1.1.2-2, I
think) inputting German special characters (ö,ä,ü,ß) with my German
keyboard stopped working. What I get is this: (ö, ä, ü, ß) - two
characters for every single key stroke ... a problem interpreting
unicode?

Before, I never had a problem with this, and it only pertains to OOo,
not xterm or or any gnome application. Starting OOo with a command line
like 'export LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8; oowriter &' (or LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8 for
that matter) doesn't seem to help.

There's no error message on the console, but two lines coming up in
~./.xsession-errors every now and then (I use metacity):

Window manager warning: Property _NET_WM_NAME on window 0x1e0001d contained invalid UTF-8
Window manager warning: Property _NET_WM_ICON_NAME on window 0x1e0001d contained invalid UTF-8
