Bug ID: 149375
Summary: LibreOffice, KDE Plasma and Umlauts
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Hey everyone,
I already posted this on reddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/libreoffice/comments/uwqdi6/bug_libreoffice_kde_plasma_and_umlauts/
and got sent here.
So this seems to be a rather recurring problem, judging by the results I get
when I do a search.
On two computers, one running Arch the other running Kubuntu, both with a
current PLASMA release. Region in the settings is set to "en_DE.UTF-8". That is
English user interface with German time and date, measurements, numbers, etc.
Both have the same problem:
When I try to open a file with an umlaut in the file name (ö, ä, ü, ß)
LibreOffice gives me an error message: /home/myuser/Documents/fl??ten.odt does
not exist.
With question marks instead of the umlaut.
It does not matter whether the umlaut is in the file name or the path.
So this doesn't work either:
/home/myuser/D??cuments/floeten.odt does not exist.
Also, it doesn't matter whether it's odt or ods or any other LO file type.
I know. It is not good practice to use umlauts in path or document names. I get
that. Regular users don't. This shouldn't be an issue, so I'm trying to bring
it to the attention of whomever it may concern.
It is very reproduceable. Just setup a VM with your distro of choice, set it to
the region described above and see for yourself. (just tried it with Fedora 36
Live KDE-Plasma Spin)
I'll be happy to provide any information necessary and am grateful for your
suggestions. :)
Feel free to use the umlauts from this text to name your test files. ;)
- Version: 7.3.3.2 / LibreOffice Community
- Build ID: 30(Build:2)
- CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: kf5
(cairo+wayland)
- Locale: de-DE (en_DE.UTF-8); UI: en-US
- 7.3.3-2
- Calc: threaded
- Document Format: ODT, ODS, ODP ... doesn't really matter.
- No need to share a specific document.
Just create one and use one of the umlauts I provided above if you don't
have them on your keyboard (or all of them ;) ).
And: just tried opening those same files with calligra and abiword - works
fine.
Thanks again! :)
