            Bug ID: 135441
           Summary: LibreOffice needs settable charset/encoding defaults
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: Bugzilla at Groleau.Email

Description:
When I import or paste text into Calc, I sometimes forget to change the
"Character set:" to UTF-8.  This MIGHT be the cause of finding a BOM or a
non-printing zero-width unknown character embedded (not at start of file) into
text files copy/pasted out of Calc.  The "Character set:" menu should also be
available in Preferences for the User to set a default.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use an app other than LibreOffice to open a text file encoded UTF-8
2. Select some text and copy to clipboard.
3. Select a cell in LibreOffice and try to paste.


Actual Results:
"Character set:" is UTF-16 (always)

Expected Results:
"Character set:" should default to something user has put in preferences.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Probably applies to all platforms.  I currently have
Version: 6.4.4.2 Build ID: 3d775be2011f3886db32dfd395a6a6d1ca2630ff
but this was noticed long ago.

Version: 6.4.4.2
Build ID: 3d775be2011f3886db32dfd395a6a6d1ca2630ff
CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.15.6; UI render: default; VCL: osx; 
Locale: en-US (en.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US

Don't know whether OpenGL is enabled.

NOTE: webform says "information from menu Help - About LibreOffice" but on
MacOS, the "About" is on the LibreOffice menu at the opposite end of the menu
bar.
Calc: threaded
