Description weko 2009-12-04 10:11:23 UTC

The Office crashes if the program path contains a special character like German 
Umlauts (äöü).

If you open an ODF document via double-click in Windows Explorer and the 
corresponding application (Writer, Calc etc.) in not already running, the Office 
crashes.

Same behavior if you open a document via New|Recent documents from Start-
Center.

Furthermore the StarBasic macros are not available.

The problem is that Barkley DB seems not to be able to handle paths with special
characters. As result the package manager throws always exceptions when it is
asked for installed packages and so on. This exception causes the problem.

The workaround would be to catch the exception in this scenario, so that the
documents could be loaded. But the main problem remains: the package manager can
not be used in this case at all.

The workaround that fixes the scenario has been integrated in cws fwk131.
