Description Peter Bieringer 2006-01-06 10:39:20 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-DE; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7

Description of problem:
After an unexpected shutdown and restart of OO writer, a message box was displayed, where German umlauts are not displayed well, looks like an encoding problem here.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openoffice.org-writer-2.0.1.1-4.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. Switch user language to German, e.g. by editing ~/.i18n
1. Start OO writer, create a document
2. Kill OO writer (e.g. by shutdown)
3. Restart OO writer
  

Actual Results:  Message box with misdisplayed German umlauts (see attachement)

Expected Results:  German umlauts should be well displayed

Additional info:

Looks like this message box was displayed on rather early OO starting state, because I disabled font alias rendering everywhere (Gnome and OO), but message box fonts are still aliased rendered.

Comment 2 Caolan McNamara 2006-01-12 10:53:44 UTC
Reproducable, appears that this text is in the wong encoding. It's telling you
there there is a ~/.openoffice.org2.0/.lock file. Logging upstream as
