copy/paste to oo from web page with scandinavian characters produces carbage
Last modified: 2005-11-05 10:44:56 UTC
To reproduce: 1) start konqueror and go to web page with scandinavian characters. Example: http://www.helsinginsanomat.fi/uutiset/tuoreet/ 2) start openoffice (writer) 3) copy/paste block of web page from konqueror to oo Result: scandinavian characters (äöå) are broken. Copying from Firefox works ok. LANG setting does not make a difference.
hmm, never heared of that. It seems, OOo requires something else
It seems to work perfectly fine here with KDE3.4.2, OOo-1.9.125 (and the Czech locale). Please provide all steps how to reproduce the error with a fresh en_US user.
I see. It works fine with MMB paste, is broken with Ctrl+V paste. I'd guess it is an OOo bug.
Confirmed, it's OOo. For MMB paste, it selects COMPOUND_TEXT from Qt's offer of formats, which is locale-encoded and that works fine in this case. For Ctrl+V paste it however selects "text/html;charset=UTF-8", for which Qt sends e.g. : === start === <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <body>rekisteröitymistä.</body> === end === And properly encoded as utf-8 of course, I checked.
KDE not supported anyway,
