Hi. I can confirm this and have the same frustrating problem. My suggestion would be to have there a dialogue box asking you to input the encoding manually when opening a file. This could be maybe done by some plugin or some setting allowing you to use the dialogue when you need to change the encoding manually. Or use View->Character encoding as other programs have it.
Hope this helps. -- Gedit should allow manualy choose encoding https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/271705 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
