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.

This appears to work now.

By the way, did you mean to set the "moreinfo" tag on this bug? I don't think 
I received a request for more info.
