[Bug 424132] Re: [kubuntu] OOo KDE file dialog is utterly broken.

[Christian Schürer-Waldheim]

I've observed the same problem in the writer part. It saves in an old MS
word format (although e.g. Word 2003 was selected) which causes the loss
of e.g. German umlauts or the €-symbol (probably any non ASCII
character).

> OO.org successfully uses the KDE file dialog, however, it's very broken. Some issues:
> 
>  - The default directory is one higher in the hierarchy than it should be (for instance, it starts in /home. After you save, the next save defaults to one directory above that)
>  - Automatic file extensions don't work
>  - Some buttons (like 'New folder') are missing
>  - The checkboxes below the file picker widget have no text
>  - The settings menu has no text.
