------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Nov 30 22:16:16 -0800 2006 ------- There's a PARTIAL WORKAROUND for this bug that helps in some cases (tested with ZH-TW). In Win XP, change the 'language for non-unicode programs' to match the character set of the filename you want to open. Restart. This setting can be found in Control Panel -> Regional & Language Settings -> Advanced tab -> choose the appropriate language from the first list box BTW, that dialog box also lets you choose which code page conversion tables to load. I don't know what affect those options have on this issue. WARNING: changing the 'language for non-unicode programs' could cause other applications to stop working properly (most likely old apps, not mainstream stuff). If that happens, you can simply change it back to the original setting. I agree with sgfan that this bug is a show stopper for some, and is probably under-reported. It's really harmful for new users' impressions of OO in certain environments. OO appears to trash the very first file they try to save (actually they just can't re-open it by double-clicking on the icon). For inexperienced users, the bug makes it look like OO simply doesn't work. *This bug was first reported almost one and half years ago (as issue 52240). It's been reported separately at least six times - see the apparent duplicate, Issue 64764, which has another 6 votes to add to the 14 this issue has now --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
