Bug#328864: openoffice.org: curly quotes disappear when pasting into Emacs or Xterm

[Reid Priedhorsky <reid@reidster.net>]

Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1.1.4-7
Severity: normal


Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create or open a document and put some curly quotes in it. (I imported a
     Word document with curly quotes.)
  2. Select a segment of text containing curly quotes.
  3. Paste segment into Emacs or Xterm.

Expected behavior:

  (first choice) Curly quotes are changed to straight quotes in pasted text,
  e.g.:

     She said, "Don't eat the pudding!" in a loud voice.

  (second choice) Curly quotes remain as funny characters in pasted text.

Actual behavior:

  Curly quotes disappear entirely, e.g.:

     She said, Dont eat the pudding! in a loud voice.

Straight quotes copy-and-paste fine.

Thanks very much for your help. It is really great to have OO.org available on
my system.
