Description mukhin 2008-12-30 13:57:12 UTC
I'm very pleased with new version, except:

Since downloaded OOo 3.0 it went down every time I've tried to open a file (or
file from a folder) which name consists scandinavic vowels 'ä', 'å' and 'ö'.

It's pretty irritating because of common use of letters in scandinavic and
particularly in my case in finnish language.

Keep up a great work!

Seems to work fine for me under OS X 10.5.2 with 3.0 build 3958; tested both
saving a file to an existing folder to scandi chars, creating a new folder with
them and opening files from new + existing folders.

Any specific component / file format in play? Because I only tried odt

I'd like to add: I have a pretty fresh OS X + OOo installation with not too much
tinkering around, perhaps it's as someone mentioned elsewhere, related to other
software?

Hi

I have OS X 10.5.6
Every time I try to save with ä,ö,å in file name, OOo changes the names 

'ä' to %E4
'ö' to %E5
'å' to %E6

and rejects to open them: starts OOo Document Recovery over and over without any
success.

When changing a file name back to ö,ä,å and try to open then, OOo shows an
error: '"filename" does not exist.'. Error is shown each time twice.

When trying to save to a folder with ö,ä,å, there appears another folder
straight just behind the first, where letters are changed to o,a,a and question
marks, as "täynnä" shows like 'ta?ynna?'

I've freshly installed OS X on december 23. and OOo installed on top. The first
time I've noticed the problem was right away.

I've downloaded the US English -version. Might there be a problem with that?

Oh, and it works (or doesn't work) the same with .odt and .odb, others haven't
tried yet.

the äöå characters seem to work fine on my Mac OS 10.4.11 and OpenOffice 3.0.1

cannot reproduce that on 10.5.6 (english OOo version, tried with ä and ö
letters, both with native and OOo file dialog). Since it does not seem to be
that easy to reproduce, I'll lessen the prio somewhat.
