--- Comment #3 from Chris Davis <[email protected]> --- After verifying that it works for Excel 14.0 (Office 2010) under Windows, I've also tried it on Ubuntu 13.04 with Gnumeric Spreadsheet 1.12.1 and LibreOffice Calc 4.0.2.2 without any problems. So while things work for these programs, the more I read on the UTF-8 BOM, the more it seems like a hack to make the output work with Microsoft programs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark#UTF-8 "Despite this, Microsoft..."). Apparently this can cause problems with programs that don't look for a BOM and try to parse it as data. I'm not sure which programs would fall into this category, but I can test them if anyone has ideas. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
