Description Giovanni Venturi 2004-10-28 12:50:02 UTC 
Version:           4.3 (using KDE 3.3.0, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.9

When I open KWrite the I load a new file and I select UTF8 coding, KWrite open File not in UTF8 coding, I suspect it's a bad way of getting the selected encoding from the combobox
Comment 1 Anne-Marie Mahfouf 2004-10-29 00:38:56 UTC 
How do you select utf8 coding? where is the file from? can you give a precise example please?

Open KWrite, then from menu File/Open appears a file dialog on the right upper 
corner there is a combobox with all encodings available. Select UTF8 and 
select a file that you know it's UTF-8 encoding. For example a translation 
file: kde-i18n/it/messages/kdeextragear-1/k3b.po from KDE CVS HEAD and see.
I think I write correctly the bug description, why did you ask me a precise 
one?
Comment 3 Anne-Marie Mahfouf 2004-10-29 14:48:41 UTC 
So you can NEVER set your KWrite on utf-8 encoding?
Can you take a screenshot showing your encoding and a bit of the messed file? Is the behaviour the same with Kate?

I am interested in your bug as I use a lot of utf-8 (khangman and klettres data plus translations) and I want Kate to be fixed. However I can open KWrite with utf-8, it's only in certain special cases that I have a problem.
Comment 4 Giovanni Venturi 2004-10-29 16:06:20 UTC 
Well, sometimes I can load as UTF-8 others time no. It's random.

In the shot I attached. You can see "sincerit" and strange character.
it has to be "sincerità". It's the Italian KHangman "hard.txt"
It is difficult to reproduce this but cause of its random way of doing.

I would like to see the View -> Set Encoding menu item on your screenshot. What does it say? Obviously your file is not opened as utf-8 but it will be difficult to make sense of the bug if it's random. It must be related to something. I can open all KHangMan files as utf-8 with KWrite, I just tried with hard.kvtml in kde-i18n/data/kdeedu/khangman. If you could try that one and set KWrite View -> Set Encoding to utf-8 just to see if it resolves it?
Maybe your bug is only in 3.3.0.
