characters like Chinese and German umlauts. As well as with folder name with
such condition. This happend also by write a file name in such special characters.

My system is Mac OS X 10.5.5 Chinese Intel based machine.
I can't open the filename with Chinese characters since OOo 3.0 beta.
Comment 4 alexylee 2008-12-11 11:03:59 UTC 
Could it be that OOo 3.0 conflict with other software?
Comment 5 philipp.lohmann 2009-03-13 15:56:07 UTC 
This is not a patch issue and it is not really repducible.

I have the same problem on Mac OS X 10.5.6 (English environment, OOo 3.0.1 Build:9379 English version). 

I can open Chinese filenames about 3 months ago, but it doesn't work anymore from one day, keep 
alerting "xxx/xxx/xxx.doc (or .xls) does not exist".  It happens when opening files named with Chinese 
characters and files store in a folder named with Chinese characters (even the file name is in English).

Please attach a test.zip what will extract to a folder with affected file name and contains 1 or more documents with "forbidden" names
