Description betsyz1 2012-11-08 22:29:32 UTC 
I copy this text below from an OpenOffice file:
"hiring is an infrequent exercise"

Then I paste the text copy into Jutoh to do a "find" for the text in the project.
The paste of the text that shows up when I copy it is this: "ηιρινγ ισ αν ινφρεθυεντ εξερχισε"

I started the Jutoh project from the OpenOffice file. The text when I created the Jutoh project came out fine.

I have "English" selected as language for everything I can find.
I don't think it is Jutoh-related, because if I copy the same text from a PDF copy of the file (that I used to create the OpenOffice file) and paste it into Jutoh as the "find" text, it pastes as English.

this is actually the Greek transliteration of the text.

Did you try pasting that very same content in another applications, like the web browser, etc.?

Environment: Mac OS X 10.11, Open Office 4.1.1, build: AOO411m6(Build:9775) - Rev. 1617669

Test : could not reproduce
1: type “Hiring is an infrequent exercise” in OpenOffice Writer
2: copy the text
3: paste text in Jutoh
4: text appears as “Hiring is an infrequent exercise” in Jutoh

I was unable to reproduce this bug and I believe it is because I do not know the versions of the software being used and the system environment.
