This has nothing to do with CWS kabrefine, it also happens in m150. It is a
consequence of fixing issue 35859.
dBase is a 8-bit-backend, while OpenOffice.org is a 16-bit-application. That is,
every Unicode string obtained from the UI must be converted to a 8-bit backend
representation, using some given encoding. This encoding can be set, on a
per-database basis, with "Edit|Database|Properties|Character Set". Our
pre-installed Bibliography database has a character set of "Western Europe
(DOS/OS2-850/International)", which is inappropriate for converting the table
wizard column names into a 8-bit representation as needed by the dBase backend.
Thus, when trying to convert the given column names, an exception is thrown.
Two problems I see here:
- the thrown exception, which already contains an explanation, is silenced and
replaced with another exception which does not contain any message.
- The pre-installed Bibliography should come with a character set which does
make sense in the context of a CJK version. I.e., it should be able to convert
the pre-defined table/column names.
In agreement with MSC, this issue here will address the first issue. The second
is hard to solve, since there is no encoding which can generally convert CJK
characters into 8-bit representations, with the additional restriction (also
imposed by the dBase format) that the encoding is fixed-with, i.e. *every*
Unicode character is converted to a fixed number of 8-bit characters.
