--- Comment #1 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
The problem that you see is related to your text file having no BOM that is
used to mark file as UTF-8. In the absence of that byte-order mark, previous
versions of LibreOffice didn't detect the encoding, and used current system
encoding - which on Windows is ~guaranteed to be non-UTF-8. So your text was
imported using wrong encoding.

That was *not* a bug, but a missing feature of recognition of such files. The
correct way to open such files was using special "Text - Choose Encoding"
filter in File Open dialog.

In v.7.1, tdf#60145 was implemented, as you see. So no, when you see something
fixed in the next version, it doesn't mean that not having it in the previous
version is a bug and should be fixed. Not having it in 7.0 is NOTABUG.
