Priority: medium
Bug ID: 60166
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: FILEOPEN: BOM not ignored when using text file as
database
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 3.6.4.3 release
Component: Database
Product: LibreOffice
I use text files as source data for doing mail merging. after finding some
incongruences in the generated documents of my mail merges I observed that
libreoffice base doesn't ignore the BOM mark of the beginning of the files when
you work with utf8 text files.
in windows this is not a problem because you must work with ansi encoding if
you want the special characters appear correctly but in linux you must use
utf-8 to obtain the same results and here is where the problem appears.
when you add the database fields to your writer document the BOM in the first
column name is translated to the odt file. you later can have problems working
with this document in other plataforms
I attach some files to help to see the problem
