Bug ID: 106969

characters

Test database
Libreoffice on Windows 10 64-bit, also tested on Windows XP 32-bit, both on
Greek locale and Greek versions of Libreoffice still 5.2.6.2
I have filed this as LibO Calc issue, since there was nothing general. Could be
Java- or Base-related too.
I wanted to export some database tables to spreadsheets. I have attached an
example test.odb base, as well as a screenshot of what the single table of this
database contains, as base.png.
I copy the table (right-click on table name, from the table list abd select
"copy". I create a new LibO calc document and select paste.
The end result is shown in the attached calc.png file. Text fields are shown
with gibberish characters.
Two important remarks:
1) If you closely examine calc.png, you'll observe that the very first line,
which contains the table field names, is displayed correctly in Greek.
If instead of LibO calc I select an empty Libo write document to paste into,
characters display just fine in Greek!
2) If you examine the ODS file screenshot, you'll see that column legends (that
is, the base field names) are *correctly* displayed in Greek. But not the
actual data, which seems quite puzzling to me!
