Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: FILEOPEN: Unicode text encodings not auto-recognised
in LO4.0.2 Linux (OK in Windows version?)
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.0.2.2 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice

Sample UTF_16le Chinese text file
Problem description:
When opening a Unicode text file encoded UTF-16LE, the character encoding
denoted by the 'Byte Order Mark' does not seem to be recognised correctly on LO
Linux. However, on the same version on Windows Platform, encoding is
recognised.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open attached sample UTF-16le text file using Writer in LO4.0.2 Linux. Use
the default 'all files' filter. The file encoding is not correctly recognised
(garbage characters shown).
2. Open attached sample text file using Writer, but preselect the 'Text
Encoded' filter first. Select 'Unicode' as encoding and 'CR+LF' as line
separator. Characters shown correctly.
3. If opening the file in Calc, the encoding is correctly detected as Unicode.
4. If opening the file in Writer 4.0.2 on Windows, encoding is correctly
detected and file displays correctly.
The first two bytes of the attached file are the UTF-16le 'byte order mark'
<FF> <FE>. But it seems LO4.0.2 Writer on Linux doesn't recognise these
automatically.
'Language Settings' in preferences don't seem to make any difference.
Operating System: Linux (Other)
Version: 4.0.2.2 release
