By default, the menu has one non-UTF-8 item: ISO-8859-15. Expected results: Expected the single pre-populated item in the menu to be windows-1252 instead of ISO-8859-15. Additional info: ISO-8859-15 post-dates UTF-8 and is not actually as common a legacy encoding as ISO-8859-1 and windows-1252. windows-1252 is a superset of ISO-8859-1, so there's no point in having ISO-8859-1 in the menu. However, if one is opening legacy files, having windows-1252 in the menu is useful. Putting ISO-8859-15 in the menu instead looks like anti-Microsoft political posturing that's detached from practicality.
