Bug#389935: openoffice.org-writer: pasting text from clipboard destroys international characters
Package: openoffice.org-writer
Version: 2.0.3-6
Severity: normal
When I copy and paste text from another application into oowriter, any
international characters are transformed to garbage. For example,
entering "ABC Ã?Ã?Ã?" in a "konsole" window, marking and pasting into an
oowriter document, I get "ABC " followed by three black squares with
question marks inside.
When pasting text with umlauts from a web page, the accented
characters give the traditional encoding mess-up syndrome, so that the
text
"Info-Service der Landeshauptstadt München"
(from www.munchen.de) becomes something like
"Info-Service der Landeshauptstadt M�¼nchen".
Other applications (KDE applications, Emacs, etc) do not exhibit this
problem. Note that my locale is set to sv_SE.UTF-8.
