Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 7517
Importing SO5-Documents replaces protected spaces.
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
When importing a StarOffice 5-Document (my degree dissertation, language German) the protected spaces (CTRL-Space) are being converted to the character "ÿ" ("ÿ"). Didn't try that with other ducuments yet.
Addition: This only happens in some special cases: One time there was a german end quotation mark (“) before and a footnote after. The second was between an uppercase character ("L") and a number ("4"). HTH
Thanks for posting Marin. Could you please attach all the files we need to reproduce this issue? Thanks.
Created attachment 2806 [details] A version of my degree dissertation as SO5 doc (596k); first occurance of the described problem on bottom of page 4, last line.
This file crashes OOo 643. See issue 8557.
Duplicated on RH 8.0, RH OOo 1.0.1. I don't have SO5 so I cannot see what the doc looks like in there. However I do see the "y" character the user is referring to on the bottom of page 4, last line.
Created attachment 3356 [details] In SO5 it looks like it should - see this screenshot.
Hi Martin! It looks like a bug (or an accident) of SO 5.0, "hidden" in the 5.2. Could reproduced this in any current 6x version but saving this doc in SO5.2 cleans the problem. ES->MIB: do you want to have a look at this? I rate this as an "accident" but, who knows...?
.
according to the announcement on releases (http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=releases&msgNo=7503) this issue will be re-targeted to OOo Later.
