Description shagrouni 2008-10-20 17:44:17 UTC 
Viewing HTML source corrupting Arabic text in the source file, if the file is 
read only a Write Error message raised.
Arabic HTML files never seen correctly if they are created outside OpenOffice
See #95141
(Language = UTF-8)

Reassigned to ES.

If this is the same problem as issue 95141, please close this issue and reopen
the other one.
Else I need a sample of a file "created outside" of OpenOffice.org.

Please note: because of a lack of resources, the HTML project is stalled and
bugs won't be fixed unless they are huge regressions.

Comment 5 shagrouni 2008-10-21 10:30:49 UTC 
When OpenOffice open HTML file OO should not alter the source file (edit and 
save) until a change has been made and user explicitly ask to save the change.

My situation here is when ever I opened HTML file to view it under OpenOffice 
the Arabic text  is altered and I cloud never bring it back to original.

As for issue 95141, the problem was fixed (for files created with OO) when I 
changed the character set to UTF-8 in HTML Compatibility in Options.

@AMA: even if the encoding is set to UTF-8 in OOo options, the arabic text of
the sample document doesn't show correctly when opened.
