Description: Trying to open a file with a non-latin filename (I have tried Greek and Cyrillic) does lead to an error message or a defunct soffice.bin process. This is on LIbreoffice 7.0.2.2 (Flatpak!) running on Kubuntu 20.04. I have not noticed this with prior versions. I have observed this with odt, xlsx and dox documents. Steps to Reproduce: 1.give a file a name using non-latin characters. 2.Doubleclick in the filmanager to open Actual Results: Either: no feedback, no file opens error message file xyz does not exist (whereby the actual non-latin characters are replaced by questionmarks) Expected Results: File opens Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: Version: 7.0.2.2 Build ID: 8349ace3c3162073abd90d81fd06dcfb6b36b994 CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: el-GR (el_GR.UTF-8); UI: en-US Flatpak Calc: threaded
This happens no matter if the file is selected within libreoffice or in the OS filemanager.
I continue having this rather annoying problem on Libreoffice 7.0.3. could somebody be so kind and check if it can be replicated?
Thank you for reporting the bug. I can't reproduce it in Version: 7.0.3.1 (x64) Build ID: d7547858d014d4cf69878db179d326fc3483e082 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: CL with either ods, odt, docx, xlsx files. Please provide a clearer set of step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce the problem. I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' once the requested information is provided.
I am quite sure, that this problem is OS specific and maybe even specific to the flatpak version. I would therefore appreciate it, if someone could try to replicate it with the flatpak linux version and/or at least on linux. STEPS to reproduce. 1. go to the filemanager of your distribution. (In my case dolphin) 2. Double click on a file named with non-latin characters. 3. See libreoffice providing an error message 4. rename the file to latin characters 5. Open the file as expected.

No problem for me with Dolphin, Greek filename and Arch Linux package.
