Description mrelwood 2014-11-29 19:40:25 UTC
In LibreOffice (4.3.3.2 and 4.3.4.1) Calc and Writer, the italic "ä" shows as non-italic, when using Trebuchet font and copy-pasting text from a filename in Finder (OSX 10.10). The issue remains even if I paste the text unformatted. If I type the same text manually, there is no issue.

Funny detail: If I press backspace at the "ä" to remove it, it first turns into "a", after which the italic DOES work. It seemed like LibreOffice would be registering the single letter as separate a and ¨? Although, if I type ¨ and a to create the "ä", the italic DOES work correctly.

OpenOffice does NOT have this issue in Writer or Calc.

Exact steps to reproduce:
- Create a new Calc Spreadsheet (or Writer Document), and set the font to Trebuchet for all cells.
- Locate (or create) a file in Finder that has a letter ä or ö (umlaut) in the filename, and copy the text from the filename to the clipboard.
- Paste the filename to the created Spreadsheet. Regular paste or paste unformatted, no difference.
- Set the style of the cell to italic.

The issue is that the ä and ö (umlauts) do not change to italic while the other letters do.

The issue is present in both OSX 10.10 and OSX 10.10.1.

I can confirm this bug.
I reproduced it running version 4.3.4.1 on OS X 10.10.1
