--- Comment #13 from Bruce H <[email protected]> --- This bug is similar to one that I logged around the same time (https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166238). That one is also apparently a case of incorrect choice of character set. In 166238, Calc auto-selected "UTF-7" by default (without my awareness) on import, which resulted in Calc mangling the content of my CSV file. It is my contention that (1) Calc 25.2 is making an inappropriate choice in deciding what character set to use in the import (or export) dialog; (2) the character set choice was NOT based on my prior import/export history, because I have never used UTF-7 before; (3) most user don't know the difference between various character set encodings, and they are not knowledgeable enough to know that they have to explicitly choose UTF-8 among dozens of other choices; and (4) Calc just started defaulting to UTF-7 with version 25.x. After I installed 25.2, the default on the import dialog changed. IMO it should not default to UTF-7. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
