<pre>Description:
Trying to open a Writer (.odt) or Word (.doc) document with a name containing
Umlaute, e.g. a document "Bestätigung", does not work. Instead, a dialog window
pops up, stating that the file "Best??tigung" does not exist.
I guess the file name is read with some character encoding which doesn't know
these characters, replaces them with "??" and obviously can't find such a file.
I also noticed that trying to save a file with a name containing Umlaute in
Writer will replace it with "?".
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a Writer (.odt) or a Word (.doc) document.
2. Rename the file to contain some Umlaut (ä/ö/ü).
3. Try to open the file.
Actual Results:
A dialog window pops up stating that the file does not exist.
Expected Results:
The file should be opened.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
