            Bug ID: 141710
           Summary: LO-Calc hangs opening a xls-sheet on LINUX where the
                    filename contains special characters (german umlaut
                    ü/ä)
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.7.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: helmut+bgz-lo at franzke.de

Description:
I got an Excel-Sheet where the filename had german umlaute ü/ä

Filename is displayed as: BBB Iphonezübehör.xls

Investigating the filename on the command line (ls -l)  showed:

'BBB Iphonez'$'\303\274''beh'$'\303\266''r.xls'

Trying to open this file with LO from commandline (soffice <FILENAME>) causes
LO to hang :-(

hf at b65:~$ ps ax|grep libr

 7977 pts/1    S+     0:00 /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/oosplash BBB
Iphonez??beh??r.xls

Opening from LO-dialog shows a box with:

The operation on /tmp/BBB Iphon..(weird characters)....xls was started with an
invalid parameter.






Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create/copy a sheet with a filename like the one mentioned above (difficult,
unable to use german umlaute for saving on my LINUX-Box, use WINDOWS to create
one)
2.try to open the file (soffice <FILENAME>)
3.

Actual Results:
LO hangs (commandline) or gives an error message (LO-dialog)

Expected Results:
LO should give an error message but should not hang on commandline


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No


OpenGL enabled: Yes
