Description Ido Kanner 2010-09-25 11:32:38 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

My session is configured not to add by default BOM to a file, but when I opened a UTF-8 files with BOM, the menu option of "Tools->Add Byte Order Mark (BOM)" was unchecked, even tough that using od, I could see the BOM marks.

If I mark the menu option it will not add the BOM itself again (as expected), and unmark it, does remove the BOM.

The expected behavior is that the menu option will be set if there is a BOM.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a file with UTF-8 BOM (did not try other encoding) that was not added by the session of Kate.
2. View the menu item of "Tools->Add Byte Order Mark (BOM)" and see if it's checked or not.

Actual Results:  
The menu option is not checked

Expected Results:  
The menu option should be checked if there is an existed BOM in the text file.

I'm using Kate 3.5.1 in Arch Linux.
As I said, I only tested it with UTF-8, and when the session configuration does not configured to add BOM by default.
