Description Dimitris Xenakis 2014-06-04 09:55:34 UTC
Created attachment 100392 [details]
a Base file containing a single table exhibiting the issue

Version: 4.2.4.2
Build ID: 63150712c6d317d27ce2db16eb94c2f3d7b699f8
-- Need to transfer data from a Base table to a spreadsheet (Calc)
-- The data contain non Latin characters (in my case Greek)
-- If I follow the instructions in https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Importing_and_Exporting_Data_in_Base
-- The greek characters are not tranferred properly

The attachment is a Base file with a single table exhibiting the issue

Below is a pasted text from the Calc file after attempting the export. (by the way, the copied table cannot be pasted as text, only as RTF and HTML)

On Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: df48d00ffb4fb1bf206ea41ba704373fcc35c749 the exported greek looks like:
ξεσκεπάζω την ψυχοφθόρα βδελυγμία

is this ok?
Comment 2 Dimitris Xenakis 2014-06-04 12:52:07 UTC
This is indeed OK!

On pc Debian x86-64 with 4.3.2 Debian package, I don't reproduce the problem.

Let's put this one to WFM.
Comment 4 Dimitris Xenakis 2014-10-10 07:37:23 UTC
I confirm that is works for Linux (Ubuntu 12.04, LibreOffice Version: 4.3.2.2
Build ID: 430m0(Build:2)), but I also confirm that it does *not* work for Windows as I mention in bug #37859.
Comment 5 Urmas 2014-10-10 16:27:19 UTC
This is actually the 37859.
