Bug ID: 135441
Summary: LibreOffice needs settable charset/encoding defaults
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Mac OS X (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When I import or paste text into Calc, I sometimes forget to change the
"Character set:" to UTF-8. This MIGHT be the cause of finding a BOM or a
non-printing zero-width unknown character embedded (not at start of file) into
text files copy/pasted out of Calc. The "Character set:" menu should also be
available in Preferences for the User to set a default.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use an app other than LibreOffice to open a text file encoded UTF-8
2. Select some text and copy to clipboard.
3. Select a cell in LibreOffice and try to paste.
Actual Results:
"Character set:" is UTF-16 (always)
Expected Results:
"Character set:" should default to something user has put in preferences.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Probably applies to all platforms. I currently have
Version: 6.4.4.2 Build ID: 3d775be2011f3886db32dfd395a6a6d1ca2630ff
but this was noticed long ago.
Version: 6.4.4.2
Build ID: 3d775be2011f3886db32dfd395a6a6d1ca2630ff
CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.15.6; UI render: default; VCL: osx;
Locale: en-US (en.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US
Don't know whether OpenGL is enabled.
NOTE: webform says "information from menu Help - About LibreOffice" but on
MacOS, the "About" is on the LibreOffice menu at the opposite end of the menu
bar.
Calc: threaded
