Bug ID: 158770
Summary: German "Umlaut" from a PDF cannot be pasted
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.9.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: documentfoundation.yt...@mar.aleeas.com
Description:
German "Umlaut" symbols (ä,ö,ü) cannot be pasted correctly from the clipboard
when they are taken from a PDF file.
The same symbols can be copied/pasted correctly in any other application that I
tested. For example: Kate, VSCodium, Joplin, etc.
When the PDF file is opened in the browser (Firefox) the German "Umlaut"
symbols can be copied correctly, but if the PDF is opened on "Okular", the
symbols cannot be pasted into LibreOffice.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the following PDF File >
https://www.amboss.com/media/de/m2-lernplan-f24
2. Open the PDF in Okular
3. Go to page 3 and copy some words with the German "Umlaut" (ä,ö,ü). For
example: "Dyslipidämie"
4. Paste the word into LibreOffice (Calc, Writer, etc).
5. See the error (The German Umlaut is not shown properly).
Actual Results:
The German Umlaut (ä,ö,ü) is not shown correctly.
Expected Results:
The German Umlaut should be pasted correctly in LibreOffice, as in any other
software.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
Version: 7.5.9.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 50(Build:2)
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.6; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb)
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US
7.5.9-2
Calc: threaded
-----
The error also occurs on "LibreOffice Fresh" installed from the Official AUR
Repository on Arch Linux (Endeavour OS - KDE).
The error also occurs when LibreOffice is in German (with the German package
installed from Arch Repository). Moreover, if the OS is in German, the same bug
appears.
It seems a problem specific to LibreOffice because any other software can paste
the Umlaut correctly from that PDF file.
