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
