            Bug ID: 132796
           Summary: A specific XLS (BIFF5) file opens with Cyrillic
                    characters garbled
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium

          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

An XLS (BIFF5) without proper codepage specified in the file, assumed Win-1251

The attached file (presumably generated using some 3rd-party generator) lacks
explicit codepage (assumed Win-1251). Opening it in Calc with Russian locale
and Russian default document language, all Cyrillic characters get garbled
(i.e., Win-1252 is used instead of Win-1251).

Excel 2016 on Russian Windows OS opens this file correctly. On English OS,
Excel emits "File error. Some number formats may have been lost.", and opens
with garbled Cyrillic characters, as in Calc.

Tested with Version: 6.4.3.2 (x64)
Build ID: 747b5d0ebf89f41c860ec2a39efd7cb15b54f2d8
CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: default; VCL: win; 
Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded
