Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gedit
To reproduce:
Open GEdit.
Write some text in cyrilic.
Save the file *with the Windows-1251* encoding.
Close the file.
Open the file through the "Open" dialog or through recently opened files within
GEdit.
File opens fine.
Now close GEdit, and open the file by double clicking on it.
File opens with gibberish (most likely thinking that it's a UTF8 file).
What i expect to happen.
There should be a setting allowing me to say that i want the encoding guessed
for the file when it's opened via double-click (or through the terminal).
Note: Guessing the encoding should *not* become the default feature.
UTF-8 should remain default. UTF-8 should never be broken once it works
correctly, the problem is with the old style encodings.
