The bug clearly states: "When doing this with the OOo from 8.04LTS, or with the official version from Openoffice.org, autodetection does it's job."
Hence, this is NOT an upstream issue. It is a bug introduced by the Ubuntu 10.04 packages. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/694188 Title: [Upstream] Office does not try to detect character set of CSV Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Confirmed Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: Invalid Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org When importing a CSV file in OOo Calc, the Lucid version of OOo does not recognize the correct character set. The CSV import module just seems to default to the last character set used. When doing this with the OOo from 8.04LTS, or with the official version from Openoffice.org, autodetection does it's job. How to reproduce: 1) make one or two CSV files, for example: echo '"text","test","vest","vast"' > /tmp/1.csv echo '"text","test","vest","vast"' > /tmp/2.csv 2) open it with OpenOffice.org: openoffice.org /tmp/1.csv Choose "unicode" for import. (This is wrong, but please do this anyway). The result shows various non-Latin characters, which is expected as we chose the wrong import character set. Now close the file and reopen any other file (or, for that matter, the same file): openoffice.org /tmp/2.csv Now Unicode is the default import type. There simply seems to be no autodetection.
