--- Comment #14 from petrelharp <[email protected]> --- I've just hit this also. Here's my experience: writing out files I was getting +AC0- and the like. I use libreoffice to do this regularly, and have never encountered this before. Finding this thread I verified that changing the "Character set" field of the Export Text File dialog to UTF-8 (from UTF-7) fixed the problem. Then I created a new CSV file, opened it with libreoffice, and noticed that in the import dialog UTF-7 was selected. Ah-ha! Changing this to UTF-8 seems to be persistent; then other opening and saving of CSV files seems to work as expected. I absolutely did not change this value, at least on purpose. I cannot completely guarantee that, for instance, I somehow toggled it by hitting 'tab' when focus was not on the window I thought it was. But, this seems very unlikely, and others are experiencing the same thing. I've had other issues recently with defaults on reading CSVs. For a few weeks (after an update), when opening a CSV the preview in the "Text Import" dialog would look good; but clicking "OK" would produce a spreadsheet with all content jammed into one cell; trying again and selecting "Separated by" "comma" got me the right result. This selection was not persistent. This bug recently went away (with another update; now at 25.2.3.2). It seems to me that something was corrupting or improperly reading previous defaults in the read CSV dialog. I don't know how I'd go about reproducing that, but will report if it happens again. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
